Did you know that ringworms can infect both humans and animals, and they can even catch the disease from each other? Ringworm is contacted when there is direct contact on the infected area of a person or an animal that is already infected.

The common symptoms of ringworm in humans are itchiness, reddish and raised scaly patches with blisters and pus. The patches normally have edges that are sharp and are redder on the outside that create the appearance of a ring. The skin is unusually dark or light. You will also have bald patches on your scalp or beard if you are infected with ringworm. Your nails will become discolored, thicken and will crumble.

Animals with ringworms usually scratch the infected parts, and that part will discolor in the process. The lesions caused by ringworms in animals are not the classic ring shape and will not develop any lesions at all. Be wary, since even if your pet has no lesions, you can still catch ringworms from them. If you suspect that your pet has ringworm because they are scratching, then you better take it to the veterinarian at once.

Ringworms in humans often heal when you keep the infected part clean and dry since the tinea fungus likes moisture. You should wash your clothes and your beddings everyday, so as not to pass the infection to others or even re-infect yourself. You may use over the counter anti fungal medication to treat this disease. If you suspect that you have ringworms, it is best to consult a doctor at once.
