How to tell if i have ringworm on my scalp or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to be examined: Distinguishing between fungal scalp infections and other scalp disorders such as psoriasis or eczema can be challenging even for the trained eye. It's best to consult a primary care physician or dermatologist for an in person assessement to determine the likely cause and appropriate treatment. Best wishes.
