Ringworm Treatmentwith Dr. Monga's

What is Ringworm?

Ringworm (Tinea) is a common fungal infection affecting the skin, scalp, or nails. Despite its name, it is not caused by worms but by dermatophyte fungi that thrive on keratin (a protein in skin, hair, and nails). It is highly contagious and spreads through:

  • Direct skin contact with infected people/animals
  • Contaminated objects (towels, clothes, combs)
  • Warm, moist environments (locker rooms, swimming pools)

Types of Ringworm

Ringworm can categories in 5 types, these are

1. Tinea Corporis (Body Ringworm)

  • Appearance: Circular, red, scaly patches with raised edges
  • Common on: Arms, legs, and torso
  • Symptoms: Itching, burning

2. Tinea Cruris (Jock Itch)

  • Appearance: Red, itchy rash in the groin/inner thighs
  • Common in: Men & athletes
  • Worsens with: Sweating, tight clothing

3. Tinea Pedis (Athlete's Foot)

  • Appearance: Cracked, peeling skin between toes
  • Symptoms: Itching, burning, blisters
  • Trigger: Walking barefoot in damp areas

4. Tinea Capitis (Scalp Ringworm)

  • Appearance: Scaly bald patches, dandruff-like flakes
  • Common in: Children
  • Risk: Hair loss if untreated

5. Tinea Unguium (Nail Fungus)

  • Appearance: Thick, yellow, brittle nails
  • Progresses slowly: Hard to treat

Symptoms of Ringworm

Ringworm causes red, itchy, circular rashes with clearer skin in the center. It may be scaly, inflamed, or cracked depending on the area.

Cause of Ringworm

Ringworm is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive on keratin - a protein found in skin, hair, and nails. These microscopic fungi spread through direct contact with infected humans or animals (particularly cats, dogs, and cattle), or indirectly via contaminated objects like towels, clothing, combs, or gym equipment. Warm, moist environments such as locker rooms, swimming pools, and sweaty skin folds create ideal conditions for fungal growth. Poor hygiene, excessive sweating, minor skin injuries, and weakened immune systems increase susceptibility. Certain activities like wrestling (where skin contact is frequent) or walking barefoot in public showers also raise infection risks. While not caused by worms (despite its name), ringworm's circular rash appearance led to this misleading term. The fungi can survive for months on surfaces, making thorough cleaning and personal precautions essential for prevention. Those with diabetes or compromised immunity are particularly vulnerable to persistent or recurrent infections.

Integrated Treatment Option for Ringworm

To prevent ringworm, maintain good hygiene by keeping your skin clean and dry, especially after sweating or swimming. Avoid sharing personal items like towels, clothing, or hairbrushes, and always wear sandals in public showers or pool areas. Regularly check and treat pets for skin infections, and wash hands thoroughly after contact with animals or infected individuals. These simple steps significantly reduce the risk of fungal infection.

  • Keep Skin Dry: Moisture promotes fungal growth—dry skin thoroughly after bathing or sweating.
  • Avoid Sharing Items: Don't share towels, clothes, or grooming tools to reduce the risk of spread.
  • Wear Breathable Clothing: Loose, cotton clothes help prevent sweat buildup and skin irritation.
  • Maintain Pet Hygiene: Check pets for bald spots or rashes and keep their bedding clean.
