| − | Ringworm is a highly contagious fungal infection of the skin. Having not anything to do with parasitic worms as the name might suggest, ringworm is actually a condition called dermatophytosis, that can be caused by several different species of fungus. The fungi that cause this parasitic infection (dermatophytes) feed on keratin, the material found in the external layer of our skin, hair and nails. These fungi prosper on skin that is warm and moist, but may also survive directly on hair shafts, either on the outsides or in their interiors.

| − | Ringworm belongs to a group of fungal infections that are usually classified according to the location on the body. For example, if dermatophytosis (tinea) affects the scalp is called "tinea capitis", the bearded skin of the face "tinea barbae", the body "tinea corporis" - mainly affecting children, the groin "tinea cruris" or jock itch, the nails "tinea unguium", and the feet "tinea pedis" or athlete’s foot. These problems vary from mild inflammations to sever vesicular reactions that can be dangerous if left untreated.

| − | Infections on the skin of the body, which are most common, will give rise to typical growing raised red rings of ringworm that become extremely itchy and irritating. These rings will become increasingly more irritating if not treated without delay and can lead to open sores, painful stinging, and eventually heavy scarring.

| − | These infections are frequent in most adult people, with over 20 percent of the US population suffering from one of these infections at any given time.
| |
| − | Ringworm particularly tends to get worse during the summer season, or in locations that have a warmer, humid climate.
| |

| − | Other common forms of fungal infection include the infection of the skin of the feet, which causes athlete’s foot, and infections in the groin area, which causes jock itch. Involvement of the nails is termed onychomycosis, and they may thicken, discolor, and finally crumble and fall off.

| − | The very same fungi can infect our house pets. In pets, the fungus responsible for the disease lives in skin and on the outer surface of hairs. So pets and domesticated animals can also be affected by ringworm, and the disease can easily be transmitted between animals and humans, from even minor exposure.

| − | RINGWORM PREVENTION
| |
| − | Ringworm infections result from several different fungi. Transmission can occur directly out of minimal contact with lesions or indirectly through contact with contaminated personal articles such as shoes, towels, shower stalls or nail clippers. A common predisposing circumstance is the mixture of warm weather and tight clothing, specially synthetic, which encourages fungus growth.

| |
| − | - Avoid sharing clothing, sports equipment, towels, or sheets.
| |
| − | - Washing clothes in hot water with fungicidal soap after possible exposure to ringworm.
| |
| − | - Avoid walking barefoot; instead wear appropriate protective shoes or slippers in locker rooms and sandals at the beach or gym.
| |
| − | - Do not share personal items such as nail clippers.
| |
| − | - Do not touch pets with bald spots, as they may be carriers of the fungus, and as we've seen, they can transmit it to humans.
| |
| − | - The skin should be kept dry, since moist skin helps the growth of fungi. Dry the skin carefully after bathing and let it dry completely before putting on any clothing.
| |
| − | - Always favour wearing natural fibers like cotton. Avoid nylons and the like.
| |
| − | - Loose-fitting underwear is also recommended and socks should absolutely be changed daily.
| |
| − | - Sandals or open-toed shoes may be beneficial and using talc or other drying powders can also be helpful.

| − | RINGWORM TREATMENT
| |
| − | It is important to start treatment in the beginning stage, or as soon as an infection is detected, because nearly 25% of all infected people develop a chronic condition. Ringworm lesions vary in appearance and duration so the earlyer the treatment begins, the better the probability for complete eradication. There are several "home remedies", but if you want to go for a serious treatment you better forget about these, as they can even make things worse, and go for a real, tested and proved, ringworm treatment. Unlike what most people assume, the majority of the topical treatments existing are NOT made specifically to treat ringworm infections. They are more exactly general anti fungi products. So their results are not always what you would expect.
| |
| − | Good news is, now there is a SPECIFIC product, that has been produced to not only eliminate all of the fungi that cause ringworm but also to work effectively and fast.
