Types of ringworm
Depending on the site of infection, ringworm can be divided into a variety of species.
1. Tinea capitis
It is mainly caused by the infection of the scalp and hair by the ringworm bacteria, and children are susceptible to infection, and animals such as cats and dogs are also prone to disease.
According to the clinical symptoms, it can be divided into blackhead, jaundice, pus ringworm, and vitiligo.
People with tinea capitis may have scalp flushing, small pus scars, and follicular papules. As a result, the hair is dull, scarred, and permanently hair loss.
2. Tinea corporis
It generally occurs on smooth ** except for the hands, feet, scalp, and hair deck.
Initially papules, vesicles, or papules, they gradually expand from the center to the periphery and then scaling to form ring-shaped patches. During the attack, the patient will feel intense itching, and if scratching, it may cause a systemic ringworm infection.
3. Tinea manifolia
It often manifests as local erythema and water scars on the palm, and in severe cases, pus or bleeding will leak from the tear, and the main types are:
Blister: Blisters the size of pinheads to grains of rice develop on the palms and fingers, and when dried, they form white punctate or annular scales.
Scaly keratinized type: flaky erythema, with keratotic thickening, roughness, scaling, and a surface covered with chips.
4. Athlete's foot

It can be divided into proximal subungual onychomycosis, distal lateral subungual onychomycosis, white superficial onychomycosis, intranaminial onychomycosis, and panonychomycosis.
In addition, in the area where onychomycosis is diseased, once it is subjected to various trauma, it is easy to lead to more bacterial infections and cause complications such as paronychia, onychomycitis, and finger pyoderma.
