Tinea fungal infections
There are different types of tinea fungal infection, based on the affected area of the body:
Ringworm usually looks like a round, red or silvery patch of skin that may be scaly, inflamed and itchy, but other fungal infections may present themselves slightly differently.
Symptoms of ringworm and other fungal infections
The symptoms of a tinea fungal infection depend on where the infection is.
Ringworm (on the skin)
The symptoms of ringworm include:
In more severe cases:
The ring spreads outwards as it progresses. You can have one patch or several patches of ringworm, and in more serious cases, your skin may become raised and blistered.
Face and neck ringworm
Ringworm on the face and neck may not appear ring-shaped, but may be itchy and swollen, and it can become dry and crusted. If you have a beard, you may notice patches of hair breaking away.
Hand ringworm
