Ring worm on skin.
I woke up with a ring worm on my arm.
1. I’d like to know if it has the possibility to have already spread to different parts of the body while I was asleep, but it’s taking time to show up. If so, how can I take care of it?
2. If I have the skin ringworm, is it possible to also affect my scalp? I know it can affect both, but online, they had different names for each condition. So, I was wondering, if it could possibly spread to my scalp and if it’s possible to already have?

It spreads to the scalp very rarely- pls visit a dermatologist at the earliest for detailed prescription for the same. Alternatively you may send pictures of the same on practo direct chat. Warm regards, Dr Govind
