Symptoms of ringworm in children can vary depending on the location of the infection:
Tinea Corporis: Appears as a red, circular rash with clear centers on the body. Tinea Capitis: Affects the scalp, leading to scaly, red patches, hair loss, and sometimes swelling or pus-filled sores. Tinea Pedis: Also known as athlete's foot, this affects the feet, causing itching, burning, and cracked skin between the toes. Tinea Cruris: Known as jock itch, it affects the groin area, causing red, itchy, and often ring-like patches. Tinea Unguium: Affects the nails, causing them to become thick, discolored, and brittle.
