RINGWORM
Ringworm, also known as "Tinea", is a contagious fungal infection of the skin (not a "worm"), and can exist anywhere on the body. The ringworm fungi feed on keratin, the material found in the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails. These fungi thrive best on skin that is moist, hot, and hidden from the light.
When this infection is found on the feet, it is commonly called athlete's foot; when it is found in the groin it is commonly called jock itch; and when it is found on the body it is still called ringworm.
Ringworm is very common, especially among children, and may be spread by skin-to-skin contact, as well as via contact with contaminated items such as hairbrushes. Humans can contract ringworm from animals; cats, cattle and dogs are common sources owing to close association with humans. Those with eczema or other skin problems get ringworm more easily because the protective barrier of the skin's outer layer is less intact.

The best known sign of ringworm in people is the appearance of one or more red raised itchy patches with defined edges that are often lighter in the center, taking on the appearance of a ring, that may blister and ooze. The affected area may become itchy for periods of time. When your scalp or beard is infected, you will have bald patches. If nails are infected, they become discolored, thick, and even crumble.
