Tinea Corporis
Body ringworm, known in medical terms as tinea corporis, is a skin infection caused by fungi that affects areas of the body other than the head, the groin, the hands, or the feet.
Frequent symptoms: It usually appears as reddish, circular patches, with more defined edges, that can itch and become scaly.
Common causes: It is related to fungi that are favored by moisture, contact with infected people or animals, or the shared use of personal items.
Which specialist treats it? Body ringworm can be assessed by the general practitioner or family physician and, in cases that warrant it, the dermatologist. If you notice skin lesions that do not improve, having them checked by a professional is advisable.
