Could i have scalp ringworm and not have a ring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ringworm is a common descriptive term that identifies the pattern that the fungus has on the skin. On the scalp, it infests the skin, base of the hairs and hair roots which gives rise to a much different appearance.It often appears like thick dandruff with some hair loss.
