How do i get rid of a ringworm scar on my arm ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Give it time: Ringworm, which is actually a fungal infection, usually appears paler or darker than the surrounding skin. This is a normal part of the healing process following inflammation of the skin. With time, the color should return to it's previous color. True scarring would be unusual from a ringworm infection.
