Causes- Ringworm is caused by a fungus that grows on the skin. Once the fungus is established, it spreads out in rings. The centre of the ring may clear up, while a new ring of infection develops at the edge of the old ring.
Children  are most likely to get ringworm. Ringworm of the scalp can spread from child to child when children share hats, combs, or brushes. Ringworm of the body can be spread on towels, clothing, or sports equipment. Personal hygiene is important in preventing the spread of ringworm. Dogs and cats can also be infected with ringworm, and they can pass it to people through direct contact
Symptoms- Ringworm of the scalp--:Dry, brittle hair or hair loss  in patches, Severe itching, Red-ringed patch of small blisters  or scaly skin
Ringworm of the body:--Red-ringed patch of small blisters or scaly skin, Severe itching is sometimes present
