What is it?
Ringworm, also known as tinea, is a common fungal skin infection in children. Despite its name, it is not caused by a worm. It appears as round or ring-shaped red patches with raised, scaly edges and clearer skin in the center. Ringworm can affect different areas such as the body, face, scalp, or groin and spreads easily through direct contact or shared items.
How it works
At Claire Derma, treatment focuses on accurately diagnosing the fungal infection and clearing it completely. The dermatologist examines the affected area and may perform simple tests to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment includes antifungal creams for mild cases or oral antifungal medications for more extensive or scalp involvement, along with guidance on hygiene to prevent reinfection.
