Tinea corporis

Clinic

• Also called Ringworm of the body
• It is a rash caused by a fungal infection.
• It's usually an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle.
• Ringworm gets its name because of its appearance.
• No worm is involved.
• It is caused by a tiny fungus known as dermatophyte. These tiny organisms normally live on the superficial skin surface, and when the opportunity is right, they can induce a rash or infection.
• The disease can also be acquired by person-to-person transfer usually via direct skin contact with an infected individual.
• Animal-to-human transmission is also common.
