What is Ringworm? A Basic Definition

Ringworm \Ring"worm"\, n. (Med.)
   A contagious affection
         of the skin due to the presence of a
   vegetable parasite,
         and forming ring-shaped discolored
   patches covered with
         vesicles or powdery scales. It occurs
   either on the
         body, the face, or the scalp. Different
   varieties are
         distinguished as Tinea circinata, Tinea tonsurans, etc.,
         but all are caused by the same parasite (a
   species of
         Trichophyton).
  
         [1913 Webster]
