Does Ringworm Stay Dormant And Flare Up In Hot Weather?

Does ringworm stay dormant and flare up in hot weather? I had it last June and nothing I put on it made it go away... Finally it went away in the winter... Well I made the mistake of attending a hot yoga class because now it s back. Why does this happen how can I kill it once and for all?!!

Hello,

Hot weather and high humidity (sweating) can reactivate this type of infection. I would recommend using good breathable shoes and taking anti-fungal therapy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
