What does ringworm on the face look like when it's healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin gets lighter: While the skin is healing after a fungal infection, as the redness goes away the skin may be lighter than the rest of your normal skin. Protected from the sun with a sunscreen and with time your normal pigment will return.
