What Is Ringworm?
Ringworm is a fungal infection that affects the skin. This condition is very contagious and may spread easily from person to person through skin contact. It means that you may get ringworm just by hugging or touching those with this infection. In addition, it may be passed from pets or animals, particularly baby cats or dogs. While ringworm may affect people at any age, kids are particularly prone to this condition. Fortunately, it is easy to spot, prevent, and treat ringworm. [1]
