Wikipedia definition
2. DermatophytosisDermatophytosis or ringworm is a clinical condition caused by fungal infection of the skin in humans, pets such as cats, and domesticated animals such as sheep and cattle. The term "ringworm" is a misnomer, since the condition is caused by fungi of several different species and not by parasitic worms. The fungi that cause parasitic infection feed on keratin, the material found in the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
