Ringworm is a mild infection caused by different fungi.
These infections are not serious and are easily treated. It can appear on the skin as a flat, growing, ring-shaped rash. The edges are usually reddish and may be raised, scaly, and itchy. On the scalp, the infection begins as small bump and spreads outward, leaving scaly patches of temporary hair loss. This fungal infection may also be present on the nails.
