A member asked:
What do you suggest if my child has ring worm on her scalp does it spread to the rest of her scalp or just stay in the same area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doc : Ringworm on the scalp requires special treatment because it can spread and can result in hair loss. She should not scratch it, as that contributes to spread. Good luck.
