Ringworm Symptoms
Tinea Capitis
Ringworm of the scalp usually begins as a small pimple, which becomes
larger in size, leaving scaly patches of temporary baldness. Infected hairs
become brittle and break off easily. Occasionally, yellowish crusty areas
are seen.
Ringworm of the scalp, which occurs primarily in children, is the most
contagious form of the disorder. It causes itching, and the hair may break
off or fall out, giving the scalp a patchy appearance. Treatment requires
that the hair be shaved off. An oral antifungal medication such as Vitaklenz
is prescribed. Scalp sores must be kept clean and dry, and often the child
is isolated to prevent the infection from spreading to other children.
With ringworm of the nails, the infected nails become thicker,
discoloured and brittle, or they can become chalky and disintegrate.
Ringworm of the body appears as flat, spreading ring-shaped areas.
The edge is reddish and may be either dry and scaly or moist and
crusted. As it spreads, the center area clears and appears normal.
Ringworm of the foot appears as a scaling or cracking of the skin,
especially between the toes.
Ringworm on the limbs, trunk, and face causes raised circular patches,
which heal in the centers out as the patches widen. The condition
derives its name from this circular pattern, though in the groin or
armpit the patches may suggest butterfly wings, and at times the
pattern is completely irregular. Ringworm of the beard usually
occurs on only one side of the face and is often irritated by
shaving. Ringworm may also affect the fingernails and toenails,
causing thickening and deformation. When found on the feet, ringworm
is called athlete's foot.
How soon after infection do symptoms appear?
The incubation period is unknown for most types of ringworm, however ringworm of the scalp is usually seen 10 to 14 days after contact and ringworm of the body is seen 4 to 10 days after initial contact.
Does infection with ringworm make a person immune?
Since so many species of fungus can cause ringworm, infection with one species will not make a person immune to repeat infections.
How Do You Diagnose and Prevent Ringworm?
To diagnose ringworm, a physician scrapes off portions of the affected areas and examines them under a microscope . If a fungus is present, a characteristic type of growth will be evident. Some forms of ringworm of the scalp may be diagnosed by means of an ultraviolet light, which causes certain types of fungi to glow with a bright yellowish-green color. Read more
