Help! need to know if there's anything that can naturally treat ringworm of the scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None I know of: The scalp ringworm infest the hair roots and generally require prescription oral medication given over a prolonged period. Some topical treatments help decrease the active germ but unless you get the germs deep in the root system it remains.
