Treated ringworm-will tanning help the healing?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tanning is bad: Im not sure what you are trying to heal with your ringworm with tanning, but tanning is never a good thing. It increases your risk of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Tanning: Would not count on tanning to help get rid of your ring worm. But, it can increase your risk for skin cancer.
