Ringworm of the skin (tinea corporis) is most commonly caused by the fungus Trichophyton rubrum, which spreads from one person to another. It can also be caused by Microsporum canis, which is spread by cats and dogs. This type is less common but causes a more severe infection. Terbinafine cream (Lamisil) is also available without a prescription. Wash the rash with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. Apply antifungal cream beyond the edge or border of the rash. Follow the directions on the package. If symptoms do not improve after 2 weeks, see your doctor. Causes of weight loss include, but are not limited to, cancer, viral infection (such as CMV or HIV), gastroenteritis, parasite infection, depression, bowel diseases, and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). The loss of weight and lack of nutrition associated with a chronic illness is referred to as cachexia.
