Maybe.  However, I was surprised to learn that ringworm, athlete’s foot and jock itch are all basically the same thing — just different forms of fungi that interact with our bodies and impact our health. Very lovely stuff. In a TikTok video, NHS GP Dr Karan Rajan shared the true facts of what ringworm is and how we can prevent catching it. So, what actually is ringworm? Dr Rajan explained tha ..read more
