Tinea corporis is primarily a disease a children although adults can get it.
Could well be that there are many that have Tinea- but I would say it would be
Tinea Versicolor as opposed to corporis- only because it takes out your hair if you have it in your scalp (Tinea capitis),
Ringworm of the scalp
Ringworm of the scalp:
Ringworm, tinea corporis on the leg
Fair use
Excerpt:
This is a picture of ringworm (tinea) on the hand and leg. Tinea is a fungal infection of the skin. Ringworm is not seen as frequently in adults as in children, but when conditions are conducive to growth, the fungus can flourish.

The poster has a good point- about Tinea- whichever type it could be. The treatment methods for the various Tineas are about the same and it take a long time to get rid of so I would imagine that it's a moot point to debate the specifics.
Speaking for myself, while it could well be Tinea- it's more than that. Much more.
The other thing while on the subject of Tinea- I have a spot on my finger with no
color- IOW- it's white like the Tinea. Now I never had a lesion on that finger- I have very few lesions adn none visible- but I do have white 'spots' here and there on my body- mostly on my shoulders/upper arms.
Tinea is a skin infection- what I have is systemic. All parts of my body are affected.
Could be Lyme and the Tinea and a few other things?
Just some random thoughts....

PS per the poster- Realitycheck- I'd like to lose the 'Morgellons' designation as well.
