How do you know if you have the ringworm fungus on you before the rash occurs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may not: Ringworm is the description of what a common rash caused by fungus is called because it looks like a red ring with scale and more clear center. Without a rash or some type of visible skin change you likely do not have a fungal infection.
