The main signs that someone has this type of infection are a ring-shaped rash, red, scaly, or cracked skin and hair loss in the affected area. The symptoms usually appear 4 to 14 days after the skin has been into contact with the fungi. Generally speaking, the infections starts out as red or pink skin patches (they can also be spots) which are either flat or a little bit raised. In the beginning, the sores can be moist, but as the infection progresses, they’ll get dry, scaly, and quite uncomfortably itchy.
