Hey everyone! This lesson is on tinea corporis,  also known as "ringworm". So in this lesson,  

we're going to talk about what this condition is;  we're also going to talk about what causes this  

condition, and we'll also talk about some risk  factors, signs and symptoms, how we can diagnose  

it, and how we can treat it. So tinea corporis,  "ringworm", is a superficial skin infection caused  

by fungi known as dermatophytes. So, it is a  fungal skin infection, and it is a relatively  

common condition that occurs worldwide, and it  is an infection involving the neck, the trunk,  

the arms, or the legs as opposed to other  areas of the body like the feet, or the groin,  

which are different fungal skin infections we talk  about in other lessons. Now, tinea corporis or  

ringworm is actually the most common dermatophyte  infection in children. So what are some of the  

causative organisms? We know that they are fungi  but what type of fungi? So they are dermatophytes,  

like trichophyton rubrum, and trichophyton  rubrum is actually the most common species  

of dermatophyte fungi that causes tinea corporis  or ringworm. We can also see other trichophyton  

species causing this condition as well including  trichophyton ... and trichophyton tonsurins and  

other dermatophytes can also cause this like the  microsporum species as well - we see microsporum  

canis coming from cats and dogs - so cats and dogs  that have microsporum canis can actually pass this  

along to humans causing a tinea corporis  or ringworm infection as well. How is this  

condition transmitted? Some of the risk factors  for transmission of tinea corporis involve direct  

skin contact - so this can either be through a  direct skin-to-skin contact with an affected human  

or could be from an animal or it can be from the  sand or soil. So if there's any fungi in the sand  

or the soil, and you were to step on it or you  were to contact your skin with that affected sand  

or soil, you could essentially pick this fungi  up and lead to an infection. And you can also
