I suddenly found ringworm on my face. What's going on?

When it comes to ringworm, the first things that come to mind are probably things like athlete's foot. It seems quite incredible to have ringworm on the face. The main thing is that the face is another business card of a person. Who would have thought that ringworm could grow on the face? However, ringworm can indeed grow on the face. Don't be afraid when you find ringworm on your face, and don't keep washing your face to try to wash it off. This won't work and may make the situation worse. But why does ringworm appear on the face?

Some children and young people have white or light red spots on their faces, with small scales attached to the surface, and sometimes itching symptoms. Because this skin disease often occurs in the spring when peach blossoms bloom, people commonly call it "peach blossom ringworm." This skin disease is detrimental to beauty, and especially brings unspeakable distress to young girls. Some parents saw the white spots on their children’s faces and thought they were “worm spots” and that their children had roundworms in their stomachs, so they gave their children anthelmintics, but to no avail. It turns out that this coloration has nothing to do with roundworms.

In fact, ringworm is completely different from what is medically known as ringworm, a superficial fungal disease of the skin. In other words, peach blossom ringworm is not "ringworm". At present, medical science has proven that it is actually a general term for skin diseases such as simple pityriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and spring dermatitis that are common in spring. The treatment should be differentiated and symptomatic. The onset of simple pityriasis may be related to factors such as excessive exposure to wind and sun, indigestion, vitamin deficiency, and dry skin. Simple pityriasis versicolor on the face is patchy and varies in size, with the smallest being only about 1 cm in diameter and the largest being several centimeters, with pigmentation on the surface. The patches are pale white or light red, with clear edges, fine scales on the surface, and slightly raised. During the active phase of the disease, the scales increase, decrease during the dormant phase, and disappear during the healing phase. Generally, there are no subjective symptoms. Some patients experience mild spasms and itching, which will disappear on their own after several months or longer.

When it itches, although we all know that itching is uncomfortable, it is difficult not to scratch it. But for the sake of our beautiful faces it is better not to touch it. Otherwise what if it leaves scars? Although I don't know if picking it will leave a mark like a pimple. We need to protect our beautiful faces, so keep your hands to yourself for now.
