Ringworm is a fungal infection that is caused by the same fungus as both athlete's foot and jock itch. Ringworm gets its name from the appearance of the reaction it causes on the skin, a ring shape.
The fungus that causes ringworm thrives in warm and moist environments. Consequently, ringworm is most common in humid climates.eMedicine: Tinea Corporis
