===============================================

Ringworm is the popular term for a fungal infection of the skin's, hair's, and nails' superficial layers.



Ringworm infections can occur in humans as well as in domesticated animals. The term is derived from the characteristic look of the circular, red, elevated 'ring' that marks the limit of inflammation in patients afflicted with the illness. Ringworm's common name is rather misleading, as it is not a worm-borne infection, and affected regions are not necessarily ring-shaped. Because the organisms that cause ringworm infections are members of a specific type of fungus known as dermatophytes, the illness is known as dermatophytosis.
