Ringworm of the body (tinea corporis) is a rash caused by a fungal infection. It is usually an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle. Ringworm gets its name because of its appearance. No actual worm is involved. Ringworm often causes a ring-shaped rash that is itchy, scaly and slightly raised.
The rings usually start small and then expand outward. Ringworm of the body is related to athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris) and ringworm of the scalp (tinea capitis). Ringworm often spreads by direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal.
| Symptoms |
| A scaly ring-shaped area with overlapping rings with a clear or scaly area inside the ring (perhaps with a scattering of bumps whose color ranges from red on white skin to reddish, purplish, brown or gray on black and brown skin) that is slightly raised and itches. Ringworm is typically found on the buttocks, trunk, arms and legs. |
| Root Causes |
|
Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection caused by common mold-like parasites that live on the cells in the outer layer of your skin.
It can be spread in the following ways:
- Human to human - Ringworm often spreads by direct, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person.
- Animal to human - You can contract ringworm by touching an animal with ringworm. Ringworm can spread while petting or grooming dogs or cats. It is also fairly common in cows.
- Object to human - It is possible for ringworm to spread by contact with objects or surfaces that an infected person or animal has recently touched or rubbed against, such as clothing, towels, bedding and linens, combs, and brushes.
- Soil to human - In rare cases, ringworm can be spread to humans by contact with infected soil. Infection would most likely occur only from prolonged contact with highly infected soil.
- You are at higher risk of ringworm of the body if you:
- Live in a warm climate
- Have close contact with an infected person or animal
- Share clothing, bedding or towels with someone who has a fungal infection
- Participate in sports that feature skin-to-skin contact, such as wrestling
- Wear tight or restrictive clothing
- Have a weak immune system

Ringworm is difficult to prevent. The fungus that causes it is common, and the condition is contagious even before symptoms appear. Take these steps to reduce your risk of ringworm:
- Educate yourself and others. Be aware of the risk of ringworm from infected people or pets. Tell your children about ringworm, what to watch for and how to avoid infection.
- Keep clean. Wash your hands often. Keep shared areas clean, especially in schools, child care centers, gyms and locker rooms. If you participate in contact sports, shower right after practice or a match and keep your uniform and gear clean.
- Stay cool and dry. Don’t wear thick clothing for long periods of time in warm, humid weather. Avoid excessive sweating.
- Avoid infected animals. The infection often looks like a patch of skin where fur is missing. If you have pets or other animals, ask your veterinarian to check them for ringworm.
- Don’t share your clothing, towels, hairbrushes, sports gear or other personal items.
