Tricophytosis

Tricophytosis is an affection of the skin, due to the development of a minute fungus known by the name of the Tricophyton tonsurans. The disease itself bears the common name of "ringworm". There are four principal varieties of the affection, which present appearances differing somewhat from each other, due to differences of location. There are tricophytosis capitis, barbae, corporis, and genito-femoralis.
