Which condition is also known as ringworm?

Tinea Pedis
Dermatitis
Tinea Corporis
Keloid

The correct answer is: Tinea Corporis

Ringworm is actually a common fungal infection known scientifically as Tinea Corporis. This condition is characterized by round, red, itchy patches on the skin, which can resemble a ring, hence the name. Tinea Corporis can appear anywhere on the body and is primarily caused by dermatophytes, which are a type of fungus that thrive on keratin found in skin, hair, and nails. Tinea Pedis, on the other hand, refers specifically to athlete's foot, which affects the feet. Dermatitis encompasses a broad range of skin irritations and conditions but is not specifically linked to a fungal infection like ringworm. Keloids are a type of raised scar caused by excess collagen production and bear no relation to fungal infections or ringworm. Understanding the specifics of each condition helps to accurately identify and differentiate between them, which is crucial for effective treatment and management.
