Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis or tinea, is a fungal infection of the skin. The name âringwormâ is a misnomer, since the infection is caused by a fungus, not a worm. Ringworm infection can affect both humans and animals.
There are several factors that can increase the risk of ringworm: 1  lack of hygiene. 2  having damp skin for extended periods of time (including sweat) 3  minor skin and nail injuries. 4  close physical contact with others.
