Is ringworm hereditary in pregnant women?

Pregnant women are prone to encountering all kinds of small troubles and problems, but sometimes they are not small troubles, but may be more serious. As we all know, fetal toxins will be excreted during pregnancy, so it is normal for pregnant women to be prone to allergies during pregnancy. However, if the condition recurs repeatedly due to poor care, although it will not be passed on to the baby, the pregnant woman's body will also feel uncomfortable.

Is ringworm a hereditary disease?

Experts at the Dermatology Hospital pointed out that tinea corporis is a very stubborn skin disease and its clinical incidence rate has always been high. Patients with tinea corporis generally have multiple annular or circular macules, and are accompanied by itching. If not treated properly or cared for properly, it is easy to relapse, causing great pain to the patient.

Is ringworm a hereditary disease?

Regarding whether tinea corporis is hereditary, experts point out that although tinea corporis is contagious, it is not hereditary. For example, tinea corporis in newborn babies is not inherited, but is actually contagious. When the mother's vagina is infected with fungi, the fetus can be infected through the vagina when it is born. This is the reason why newborn babies suffer from tinea corporis. Tinea corporis has two ways of transmission: direct and indirect. In a family, family contact is close and frequent, so when a father or mother suffers from tinea corporis, it is naturally easy to transmit it to children. It is hoped that the majority of families with tinea corporis will take preventive measures against infection.

There is an essential difference between heredity and infection. Heredity is related to genes, while infection is mainly transmitted by viruses. When parents' defective genes or chromosomes are passed on to the next generation through genetic genes, infection is the source of the disease by transmitting pathogenic factors (bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) to susceptible people, causing the spread of disease. Because tinea corporis has nothing to do with genetic genes, it is not a genetic disease, and there is no such thing as passing it on to the next generation.

Experts at the Dermatology Hospital pointed out that tinea corporis is not a genetic disease, but it is contagious. Therefore, couples who want children do not have to worry about affecting the next generation, but they must pay attention to the spread of tinea corporis and take appropriate care measures.

Warm reminder: Dermatologists say that tinea corporis is a common type of skin disease and a stubborn skin disease. If tinea corporis is not treated in time, it can lead to tinea manuum and tinea cruris, and can be transmitted to others. Not only that, the occurrence of tinea corporis can cause the patient's resistance to decline, which can easily cause colds and aggravate the condition. Therefore, patients need to pay attention to it.
