Top Causes of infection
A fungus is the primary cause of ringworm. Ringworm can be caused by almost 40 different species of fungi. The fungus lives in moist, warm areas and can infect anyone who comes into contact with it. This fungi infection affects 10-20% of the global population, according to estimates. The ten most significant causes of the infection are listed below.
Skin-to-skin contact
Ringworm is spread by skin contact. The other person becomes infected when the skin touches another surface with the disease. You are more likely to be infected if you come into contact with an infected individual. This disease usually doesn’t present symptoms for 4-14 days, so the infected person may not be aware that they are carrying an infection.
