Guide To The Symptoms Of Ringworm

Scaly Or Cracked Skin

It is common for individuals with ringworm to develop scaly or cracked skin. Ringworm infections that affect the feet are notorious for producing scaly and cracked skin between the toes and on the soles of the feet. As the infection progresses, the scaly and cracked skin may exhibit a foul odor and begin to peel off. Individuals who contract a ringworm infection in their hands are known to exhibit deep cracks in and excessive scaling of the skin. The scaly skin in these patients can become excessively thick and dry, which can cause it to peel.

Individuals affected by jock itch will develop an itchy rash with a scaly texture that may peel, crack, and flake as the rash spreads and the skin becomes excessively dry. Scaly patches of skin are commonly seen in individuals with a ringworm infection that develops on their scalp. These scaly patches on the scalp can become thick and crusty.
