വട്ടച്ചൊറി പകരുന്ന രോഗം ആണോ? | Ringworm: How It Spreads, Symptoms, Treatment | Fungal skin infection

Dr.SHALINI Consultant Dermatologist, SUT Hospital, Pattom, TVM Is ringworm contagious? Yes. Ringworm is a common fungal skin infection that can spread from person to person, from infected animals to people, and through contaminated objects and surfaces. In this video, we explain what ringworm is, whether ringworm is contagious, how it spreads, its common symptoms, and how you can prevent the infection from spreading to other people. Ringworm is caused by fungi, not by a worm. On the skin, it commonly appears as an itchy, scaly, ring-shaped rash. Symptoms can vary depending on where the infection occurs, including the skin, scalp, feet, groin, and nails. So, how does ringworm spread? Direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or animal is one route. It can also spread by sharing items such as towels, clothing, bedding, and other personal belongings, or through contaminated surfaces. We also discuss simple ways to reduce the risk of transmission, including keeping the skin clean and dry, avoiding contact with infected areas, not sharing towels or clothing, washing personal items properly, and maintaining good hygiene. #Ringworm #IsRingwormContagious #RingwormSymptoms #RingwormTreatment For more health related videos, visit Arogya Kaumudy :    / arogyakaumudy   Subscribe Arogya Kaumudy channel : https://www.youtube.com/arogyakaumudy...
