What are the signs of healing ringworm spots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Virtually none: Ringworm is a superficial fungal infection and usually does not leave any marks on healing. The expanding ring shaped lesion should disappear. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
