A member asked:
Can ringworm start in one spot then in a weeks time start on legs and move up the entire body? i even have smalls bumps on my palms now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Tinea corporis (ring worm) can be contagious and can certainly spread. It is common to have several areas of ringworm at once in different body areas. Seek medical attention and get diagnosed for sure and then treated with a good anti-fungal medication if you indeed have a spreading tineal infection. Best wishes.
