9. Diagnosis
The rash that is caused by ringworm is very distinctive, meaning it is usually easy to recognize just by looking at it. What’s more is that it is a fairly common condition, giving doctors even more confidence that ringworm will be the cause. This is usually enough for doctors to diagnose the condition and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Some doctors might feel the need to get a more conclusive diagnosis, however. This is usually achieved by taking some skin scrapings which can then be examined further. If you do have any other symptoms, then make sure to let your doctor know to help them come to the right diagnosis.
