Dermatophyte/ tinea infection:(ringworm)

Categories Dermatology

This is one disease most people are embarrassed about even coming to a doctor, in turn making them get all forms of incorrect treatment.

A characteristic feature of dermatophyte infections is a round, itchy rash with inflamed borders and a central clearing, commonly known as ringworm. Though most often treating ringworm infection is easy and sometimes even self-resolving, the knack of the treatment lies in how much the dermatologist can make it go away once and for all so that the patient doesn’t have to experience that dreaded embarrassing itch again.
