Overview

Fungi thrive in moist, warm areas, such as locker rooms, tanning beds, swimming pools and in skin folds. Ringworm is common, especially among children but it may affect people of all ages. It is caused by a fungus, not a worm like the name suggests. Ringworm is more likely in people who are often wet (such as from sweating) and from minor injuries to the skin, scalp, or nails. Ringworm can spread easily from one person to another by either touching someone who has the infection, or coming into contact with items contaminated by the fungus, such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. A person can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus (cats are common carriers).
