A member asked:
Is ring worm known to be on the ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ringworm is not really a worm, but a fungal infection. It can occur anywhere on the body. However, i think it would be unusual, though not impossible, for it to occur just on the ear. You might want to let a doc look at it.
