Ringworm is a fungal infection that spreads through contact with infected animals, soil, or other people. It causes a red, itchy rash that is sometimes in a ring shape and thick, dry, scaly skin. While not life-threatening, ringworm can recur so proper treatment by washing the affected area and applying antifungal ointment is important to prevent reinfection through good hygiene practices.
