What is another word for ring disease?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈɪŋ dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
Ring disease, or ringworm, is a common fungal infection that affects the skin and scalp. It is characterized by circular, ring-shaped rashes that are often itchy and red. While ringworm is the most common term used to describe this infection, it is also known by other names, such as tinea corporis, tinea capitis, and dermatophytosis. Tinea corporis refers to ringworm that affects the body, while tinea capitis affects the scalp. Dermatophytosis, on the other hand, is a more general term that includes all fungal infections of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophytes. Regardless of the name used, ring disease is treatable with topical or oral antifungal medications.
