Can ringworm cause a yeast infection in women?

Ringworm is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, while yeast infections are typically caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a different type of fungus. Therefore, ringworm itself does not directly cause a yeast infection in women. However, both conditions can occur simultaneously if the immune system is compromised or if there is an imbalance in the body's natural flora. It's important to seek appropriate treatment for each infection individually.
