Ringworm – Homoeopathy Heals the Itch from the Root

Ringworm, also known as Tinea, is one of the most common fungal skin infections.
Despite its name, it is not caused by a worm, but by a fungus that lives on the outer layer of the skin, hair, or nails.
It appears as red, circular, itchy patches and can spread quickly through skin contact or contaminated objects like towels or clothes.

🔍 What Causes Ringworm?

Ringworm is caused by dermatophyte fungi (such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, or Epidermophyton).
These fungi thrive in warm, moist areas of the body — like folds of the skin, groin, armpits, and between the toes.

Common risk factors include:

  • Excessive sweating and humidity

  • Wearing tight clothing for long hours

  • Sharing towels, razors, or bedding

  • Poor personal hygiene

  • Weakened immunity or diabetes
