How long does it take to see improvement once treatment for ringworm is started?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Couple of weeks: Ringworm located on the skin can take a few weeks to resolve. May see it start to fade after about a week. Tinea capitis, or ringworm on the head can take 1-2 months to resolve.
