8Secondary Infection
A secondary bacterial or fungal infection could also occur when these elements invade your broken skin under the effects of ringworm. This symptom is often more common in kids and young children mainly because they tend to give in and scratch, which breaks their skin cells and allows the opportunistic fungus to take hold and grow. Some common signs of secondary bacterial infections include oozing, heat, pimple-like bumps, swelling, pain, and redness. If left untreated for an extended period, this condition might cause more serious health issues. [8]
