Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis, dermatophyte infection, or tinea, is a fungal infection of the skin. Dermatophytes are microscopic spores that can survive on the surface of the skin for months. A ringworm is a misnomer, since a fungus, not a worm, causes the infection. The lesion caused by this infection resembles a worm in the shape of a ring.
