Ringworm, also known as tinea infection, is a superficial fungal infection of the skin caused by dermatophytes such as Trichophyton, Microsporum, or Epidermophyton. It is highly contagious and can affect different areas of the body, including the scalp (tinea capitis), body (tinea corporis), groin (tinea cruris), feet (tinea pedis), and nails (onychomycosis). Clinical features include circular or ring-shaped lesions with raised edges, itching, redness, scaling, and sometimes hair loss in affected areas. Poor hygiene, warm and humid environments, and close contact with infected individuals or animals increase susceptibility.

Homoeopathy treats ringworm by targeting fungal infection, reducing inflammation, alleviating itching, and promoting skin healing. Remedies are individualized based on lesion appearance, location, type of secretion, associated itching or burning, and patient constitution. Homoeopathic treatment supports complete recovery, prevents recurrence, and strengthens the skin’s natural resistance without causing side effects associated with long-term topical antifungal use.
