A rare case of sexually transmitted ringworm caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII was reported in the U.S. involving a New York City man in his 30s, showing the importance of considering fungi as a possible source of sexually transmitted disease.
Ringworm, a common fungal infection spread through skin-on-skin contact or shared objects, can manifest as itchiness with scaly, ring-shaped red or purple rashes. It's treatable with antifungal medication, as seen in this unique case.
