How to know if i have ringworm on my scalp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have it evaluated: Scalp ringworm will not be something that responds to over the counter medications.If you have a concern about a patch of crusty scalp with hair loss, or other symptoms, have it evaluated. The fungus if present gets into the roots of the hair and usually requires prescription medication over an extended period.
