How does the ringworm looks when it's going away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Redness fading: As ringworm gets better the scaling and the redness will start to fade. After the area has healed you may have an area of skin that is lighter in color then your normal skin. This is called post inflammatory hypopigmentation and will disappear with time.
