Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Ring worm is a fungal infection called tinea corporis. This can spread by direct contact like skin contact with lesions or by using same towels etc. It doesn t spread by other ways. So you don t need to worry. Don t share same towel or clothes which is the usual way of spread. It is not a serious disease. It can easily treated with anti fungal medications like miconazole which is available as over the counter. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
