A member asked:

I've had a ringworm for a week now and it started to go away but this morning i woke up and it had a layer of dry, dead skin that i could peel away. ?

Sounds typical: Ringworm typically desquamates (peels) as it evolves, but it won't go away without treatment. Try one of the over-the-counter antifungal creams such as tinactin (tolnaftate) or lamisil. If that doesn't work it might not be ringworm, and you should consult a dermatologist.
