Excessive itchiness of the skin where the infection has colonized is the most common symptom among all cases of ringworm infections. Individuals affected by ringworm of the foot (athlete's foot) tend to experience intense itching and burning on their soles and between their toes. Individuals affected by ringworm on their hand tend to have patches of extremely dry and hard skin that becomes itchy. Patients who develop ringworm in their finger or toenails may experience itching of the skin around the nail. Individuals with jock itch, a form of ringworm that develops in the groin area, are prone to extreme itchiness of the skin in the areas of the inner thigh, buttocks, and waist where the rash is located. Patients with ringworm on the scalp and in the beard area develop intense, itchy skin accompanied by the loss of hair in the location of the rash.
