Ringworm Awareness


Ringworm is a common concern in environments such as a wrestling gym where it can spread very quickly from person to person so early recognition and treatment are important. Ringworm is a fungal skin infection that is usually a red, itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle. Ringworm gets its name because of its appearance and no worm is involved. 

Below is guidance for British Wrestling clubs, coaches, wrestlers and parents on identifying and treating ringworm.
