[|Human|] Can ringworm cause UTIs in males age 30? A RN just diagnosed my rash as ringworm on Thursday. Yesterday (Saturday) my roommate asked if I had a UTI cause I was going to pee a lot. I am prone to kidney stones and yesterday I had a sharp pain in my upper right back area just under the rib. Felt like it could be my kidney, but all of this could just be a coincidence. I dont have any pain in my bladder.
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Ringworm is a skin infection and will never cause kidney stones. However, possibility exists that if you have ringworm infection, you will have intense itching in your groin areas and this can cause other infection in the genital region, but this does not happen easily. Going to pee can be the result of minor UTI which can occur due to hygiene problems and itching. There is no reason to connect kidney stone formation and ringworm. However, please continue to Chat Doctor.  Getting an ultrasound scan of abdomen and urine examination might help if you are having frequent urges of urine and pain in back. Hope this helps
