How to check if a cat has ringworm?

Feline ringworm is a fungal skin disease caused by Microsporum canis infection. It usually occurs on the face, limbs and other parts of cats.
The main manifestations are obvious hairless round spots, dandruff, itching, etc. in the affected area, which can be initially judged based on clinical manifestations. Confirmation requires pulling out hair from the affected area for microscopic examination or Wood's lamp examination. Cat ringworm is a zoonotic disease, so owners also need to protect themselves when taking care of their cats.
