Hi,
I have gone through your query and ringworm infection doesn’t affect the scalp in adults.
Hairloss is not due to ringworm infection.
For hair fall I would recommend you to apply mintop forte lotion or tugain lotion on the affected areas of the scalp.
It needs to be continued for 4-5 months to see significant results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
