Ringworm can also grow on the buttocks. You must pay attention to it in normal times. Skin ringworm is mainly caused by infection or other factors, which will cause some small red rashes and red patches on the skin. You will obviously feel itchy symptoms, and the more itchy it is, the more you will scratch, and the more you scratch, the more uncomfortable it will be, causing constant swelling, pain and itching.

Ringworm on the body is most likely caused by dermatophyte, which is a contagious skin disease that is distributed in different parts of the body. It can be divided into tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea manuum, pedis, and tinea capitis.

If you only have ringworms on your body and it itches, it is usually caused by ringworm of the body, which often occurs on the face, neck, trunk and limbs. During the initial stage of the disease, red rashes or small red patches will appear on the body, and there will be an itchy sensation.
