What Is Ringworm?
5. Symptoms
Perhaps the most typical symptom of ringworm is a ring-shaped rash in the skin. The rash will usually be found on the arms, legs, buttocks, or trunk of the body. There will also often be a red circular patch in the center of the ring, giving the appearance of a bullseye.
The rings will often be slightly raised, and they can expand in diameter. The rings can also overlap each other when more than one patch of skin is infected. The affected skin might also be itchy, and it can also be scaly in appearance and texture. Asides from some mild discomfort, ringworm does not typically make people feel ill.
