Tinea pedis, the common name for ringworm, is a disease caused by a fungal infection that is contagious and may be transmitted to the face. Tinea pedis is a skin disease caused by fungi attacking the skin of the feet, such as Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mustelii, etc. The pathogenic bacteria can be transmitted through contact, so it is contagious. As tinea pedis can cause itchy feet, scratching the lesions and then touching the normal skin on the face can spread the pathogenic bacteria to the face.

Therefore, in order to avoid the spread of ringworm, you need to pay attention to daily hygiene, do not scratch the feet, do not mix towels, foot basin, face basin and other personal items. Follow the doctor’s instructions and timely use of medication, commonly used drugs are clotrimazole, econazole, terbinafine and so on. It is recommended to consult the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions to prevent further spreading of tinea pedis.
