Question

How do you get ringworm on your body?

How does a person get ringworm on their body? Is the ringworm caused by a worm in your body or is it something else?

Answer 1

Ringworm is actually caused by a fungal infection and not a Worm.

There is no worm inside you causing ringworm. It's only a fungal infection and can be prevented by washing your hands and arms and showering daily using antibacterial soap.

If you get ringworm you should go see a doctor to get prescribed some prescription ointment or other antibiotics to cure the ringworm.
