Greetings. A fungal infection like ring worm takes a minimum of two to three weeks to cure depending on the size and extent of infection. Nail infection may take months. However, it doesn't mean she needs to stay here for the entire duration. See a qualified dermatologist here. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging. Warm regards
