Healing Metaphors A-Z - Ringworm

Ringworm
Ringworm is a fungal infection that causes ring-shaped red patches on the skin of the scalp or body. These cause itching, pain and scaling. Having ringworm means that we are stuck circling around an issue rather than dealing with it directly. We feel trapped by a regressive and irritating situation but it is only our fear of the truth and the next step that keeps us caught.
