The term "ringworm" may include "worm" in it, this type of infection is not induced by a worm, but by a group of fungi called dermatophytes.

July 27th, 2013 : (http://www.kamagrasex.com) - The term "ringworm" may include "worm" in it, this type of infection is not induced by a worm, but by a group of fungi called dermatophytes. These microorganisms dwell on the top layer of the skin which includes keratin. The medical name used for ringworm is tinea. Tinea corporis is described by the formation of a circular ring-shaped rash on the upper layer of the skin. The outer lining of the rash seems to be red in color, and the area within the lining seems to be normal.

The symptoms may be:

• Swelling around the edges of the rash • Redness also around the edges of the rash • Itchiness on the patches • Scaly skin on the edges of the rash • Drainage and fever

This infection begins with an elevated red spot or small pimple, and slowly transfers into a bigger circular patch.

Skin scrapings are collected from the affected area to be examined under a microscope for the presence of fungi. This test is called as the Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) test. After verifying the cause of infection to be fungus-related, the treatment options may be considered depending upon the condition:

Over-the-counter (OTC) Treatment - For mild cases of tinea corporis, using over-the-counter medications - topical antifungal lotions, creams or ointments, may suffice. Applying these once or twice everyday for 2 weeks (or more) would help.

Prescribed Medications - If the OTC medications do not prove to be effective, the doctor may prescribe certain medications which may include a combination of topical and oral medication.

Side effects may be observed after using antifungal oral medications. They may also change the effect of certain medications (such as warfarin) consumed for specific health concerns. Kindly confer with a trusted medical practitioner before opting a treatment plan.
