Ringworm needs a complete course of antifungals for a minimum period of 3-4 months depending on severity of your infection. If you stop in between, the infection flares up . Provide with photos of the same so that accurate diagnosis can be made and treatment can be given to you accordingly

Medication for ring worm continues till it completely subsides. If u stop the medication midway then there will b sure recurrence. It's a long term treatment. Dependingnon the area and extent the mediation will vary. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
