Suggest Treatment For Ring Worm Infection On The Arm
Question: I have what appeared to be ring worm on my left arm. I just noticed a darker spot under my arm in the same location just opposite. I was putting melaleuca oil on the red spot that I assumed was ring worm. Should I be concerned?

Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
It can be either ringworm infection or intertrigo which is inflammation of the body folds but you will have to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Moreover oil is not very effective in the treatment of ringworm infection.
