Can i use selsum blue to treat scalp ringworm on my 4 year old son?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scalp ringworm: No this is not effective. Generally it will require medication. You want to make sure that this is a ringworm. You could try lotrimin (clotrimazole) that you can get otc. Will not respond quickly , so give it 1-2weeks . If no help then will have to be seen for medication.
