tinea corporis

Tinea corporis is caused by a tiny fungus known as dermatophyte.

Tinea corporis is very contagious and can infect everyone in the household.

Tinea corporis is a mycosis that targets glabrous skin.

Because of how easily the condition passes between individuals, tinea corporis will keep recurring if preventative measures are not taken.

Other classic features of tinea corporis include:

Ringworm (tinea corporis) isn't caused by worms.

Tinea corporis gladiatorum is a dermatophytic infection present in wrestlers, with skin lesions typically found on the head, neck, and arms.

Other agents may cause skin infections, for example tinea corporis gladiatorum is primarily due to the fungal dermatophyte, T. tonsurans.

Ajoene in the topical short-term treatment of tinea cruris and tinea corporis in humans.

Tinea corporis (body) and Tinea manum (hand).

The fungi can cause tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and onychomycosis.

Naftifine (brand name Naftin) is an allylamine antifungal drug for the topical treatment of tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis (fungal infections).

Ciclopirox is indicated for the treatment of tinea pedis and tinea corporis due to Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and/or Epidermophyton floccosum, as well as seborrheic dermatitis.

Tinea corporis (also known as ringworm, tinea circinata, and tinea glabrosa) is a superficial fungal infection (dermatophytosis) of the arms and legs, especially on glabrous skin; however, it may occur on any part of the body.

There are no specific tests that can be performed to test for EAC; tests should be performed to rule out other possible diseases such as: pityriasis rosea, tinea corporis, psoriasis, nummular eczema, atopic dermatitis, drug reaction, erythema migrans and other rashes.

The infection can be spread to other areas of the body, such as the groin,and usually is called by a different name once it spreads, such as tinea corporis on the body or limbs and tinea cruris (jock itch or dhobi itch) for an infection of the groin.
