Ringworm looks like a ring-shaped swollen area that looks like worms have crawled underneath the skin. (It is not caused by worms. It's caused by a fungus.) The ring will get larger if left untreated. OTC, topical fungicide will work. But, physicians can provide better treatments that will prevent scaring.

Ring worm is a common and highly communicable fungal infection that appears as a circular ring of itchy red bumps. Sometimes the bumps prominent and other times appear as a discoloration rather than raised bumps. While most often a ring with a hollow center is formed, sometimes ring worm is a solid patch. It glows under black light.
