Description: Ring Worm is a common skin disorder, especially among children, but it may affect people of all ages. Ring Worm is also termed as Tinea and Ringworm. Although its name suggests otherwise, it is caused by a fungus, not a worm. Many bacteria and fungi live on your body. Some of these are useful to you and your body. Others can multiply rapidly and form infections. Ringworm occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and multiplies anywhere on your skin, scalp, or nails. Ringworm is contagious. It can be passed from one person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or by contact with contaminated items such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. You can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus. Cats are common carriers. The fungi that cause ringworm thrive in warm, moist areas. Ringworm is more likely when you have frequent and minor injuries to your skin, scalp, or nails. Often topical anti-fungal like Cannestan or Nizral are used for treating Ring Worm. Acacia nilotica extracts are as effective as conventional topical anti-fungal in treating fungal infections. Most anti-fungal are hepato-toxic and Acacia nilotica extracts are comparatively much safer. Acacia nilotica is also known as Thorn mimosa.
