How To Get Rid Of Ringworm Scar?

I had ringworm and was given a cream by my doctor to get rid of it. I ve been using it for months and months and the ring worm has completely gone away. It s no longer raised or pink an hasn t spread to me or anyone else. But the circle is still clearly there. It s dark brown and in a circle shape. My natural skin tone is a lighter brown. How do I get rid of the scarring?
