How can i treat ringworm in my infants scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time for visit: Scalp ringworm needs to be verified and if present, treated with long term prescription oral medication. Local antifungal lotions cannot penetrate deeply enough into the scalp to kill the germ located in the hair root under the skin.
