A member asked:
Can you get ringworn inside of your mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The ringworm lives off the surface layer of skin on the outside surface of your body. You cannot get "ringworm" on the inside.There are germs that can live in the mouth and throat but these are never called ringworm.
