Question

Which of the following is a characteristic feature of skin lesions caused by ringworm as they expand outward?

Options

• The edges remain inflamed while the centre may become clearer

• They form uniformly flat, dark blue non-scaly patches

• They cause completely painless, moist, non-itching ulcers

• The centre remains severely inflamed while the edges clear up completely

Answer 1

As ringworm lesions spread outward, their advancing edges remain inflamed and scaly, while the central region often clears up, resulting in a characteristic ring-like appearance.
