Does it mean my ringworm is not healing if it is itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is the rash going: away? How long have you be on treatment (if you are) and with what? If it's been more than 5-7 days and you're seeing no improvement, you should call your doctor and may need to be seen again. Sometimes,what looks like ringworm can actually be a type of eczema and requires a different treatment. If the rash is improving, but it is still itchy, it does not mean it's not healing.
