A member asked:
Is there any relation between ringworm and immune system, such as, a person who get it repeatedly, and does ringworm weaken immune system if that person get it repeatedly as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly: Ringworm is one issue that has little to do with the immune system & more to do with exposures. It affects the skin surface & does not routinely trigger any sort of immune response in anyone. Another issue is the label as many things that may appear to be ringworm are not and may represent another condition that could have immune related issues.
