It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Contact Dermatitis, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Ringworm And Other Fungal Infections.
Ringworm also called tinea corporis is a fungal infection of the skin caused by mold-like parasites. Symptoms of ringworm include slightly raised scaly ring-like shaped red rash with a pale coloured centre, and itchiness. Ringworm is commonly misdiagnosed as contact dermatitis, psoriasis, pityriasis rosea, tinea versicolor, eczema, granuloma annulare, and Lyme disease.
