Ringworm!!!!!?

Ringworm, also known as Tinea, is a contagious fungal infection of the skin. Contrary to its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm.

Ringworm is very common, especially among children, and may be spread by skin-to-skin contact, as well as via contact with contaminated items such as hairbrushes. Ringworm spreads readily, as those infected are contagious even before they show symptoms of the disease. Participants in contact sports such as wrestling have a risk of contracting the fungal infection through skin-to-skin contact.


Tinea capitisRingworm is also a common infection in domestic animals, especially cattle and cats. Humans can contract ringworm from animals; cats, cattle and dogs are common sources owing to close association with humans.

Home Remedy: Wash the ring worm with lime, do not rinse, let it dry by itself. The acid from the lime helps to heal it. Try not to scratch so it will not spread on other areas of your body.
(Use a fresh lime).
