A member asked:
What if the ring worm is all over the body but not the head or nails is that then saver and can ring worm be like acne bumps also ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : Ringworm on the skin (opposed to nail or hair involvement) is generally easier to clear with topical or oral medications. Sometimes ringworm can develop pustules that look like acne buy more typically is in a ring pattern with scaled and elevated borders.
