According to TCM diagnosis of tinea, tinea is caused by external wind poison, which condenses on the skin and even makes the skin dry; or by external wind-cold attacking the body, causing imbalance of the Ying and Wei systems; or wind-heat invading the pores, causing blood to become dry over a long period of time; or Chong and Ren meridians being out of balance, causing Ying and blood to be depleted, causing wind and dryness due to blood deficiency, etc., which leads to malnutrition of the skin; or tinea is invaded by rheumatism, which remains in the pores; or long-term residence in wetlands, resulting in water immersion, which causes dampness to penetrate the skin and accumulate in the skin; or tinea is caused by sweat-soaked clothes, which soak the skin, and then is exposed to the sun, causing summer heat and dampness to soak the pores, resulting in this disease.

Modern medicine believes that ringworm is caused by fungi. There are many types of fungi, most of which are non-pathogenic. A small number of them are conditionally pathogenic bacteria that can exist in human skin, mucous membranes, intestines, etc. Under normal circumstances, various bacterial communities influence and restrict each other, and maintain a balanced metabolism. However, long-term use of antibiotics can cause imbalance of the body's flora. When the human skin is damaged and the body's resistance is reduced, pathogenic fungi will multiply in large numbers, invade the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and cause ringworm. The disease is mostly transmitted through contact, such as through clothing, utensils or one's own tinea pedis. Environmental conditions also have an impact. For example, in warm seasons and humid areas, the anal skin may be slightly damaged and prone to disease.
