Infections from Other Parts of the Body
Ringworm spores often stick to your feet first and cause a condition called athlete’s foot. Once these fungi have grown and developed, they will quickly spread to other parts of the body and result in contagious infections. These include your hands, nails, body, and scalp. As a result, it leads to red and flaky patches all over the body. That’s why it is advisable to wash and clean your body on a daily basis to prevent ringworm bacteria from accumulating and spreading to other body parts. [4]
