Ringworm spots?!


Question:

Ringworm spots?

while on vacation i somehow caught ringworm on my back. i bought litromin ultra and used it once a day for 2 weeks like it said on the tube. the spots where the ringworm was arent flaky or puffy or anything anymore, but while on vacation i got a tan and the spots where the ringworm was didnt tan so now i just have a bunch of white spots on my back. i tried laying out a couple times after i thought the ringworm was gone but the color of the spots still hasn't changed. does that mean the ringworm isnt gone? does anyone have any idea how i can make the colors a little more even?

okay, i will keep treating it but does that mean that when the treatment is done the white spots will go away or will they stay there because i got tanned while having the ringworm there?


Answers:

Being a wrestler in high school i was exposed to ringworm on more than one occasion. Ringworm is a fungus that grows just undrneath the first layer of skin. It should be treated for several days after the spot disappears otherwise it might not be dead... just lying dormant. Recommendation: Continue to apply anti-fungal cream to the spot until it disappears completly.
