How To Get Rid Of The Scar Caused By Ringworm?
I had ringworm on my leg and I used several home remedies to get rid of them. it only worked a little until I got lotrimin. now, the ringworm is gone but it left a scar. it darker than my normal skin like a reddish-brownish color. I thought this was post inflammatory hyper pigmentation so I bought nadinola (I think it s called) to treat this. but so far, it hasn t been going away. am I doing anything wrong?

Hello,
As per your case history of scar of ringworm, my treatment advice is -
1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily.
2. Apply a terbinafine plus salicylic acid cream like Endospore twice a day on affected region.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
