Is ringworm always so defined or is the rash sometimes a little vague? By Diane from Canada
This is an extremely common question. It is hard to know what a ringworm rash looks like.
In fact, ringworm does not always look like a perfect circle like this.
People also often wonder if having ringworm, means you have a worm burrowing into your skin!
Don't worry, ringworm is not caused by a worm, it is caused by a fungus. But, even so, the look of it and the
name ringworm can get people a little worried.
