How long should it take for ringworm to disappear when using treatment two-three times daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on rx: If you are dealing with a superficial fungal infection and are using a prescription medication, it usually takes 4-6 weeks to completely eradicate it. We do not prescribe over the counter antifungals since they are considerable less effective than prescription ones.
