Hello,

If you want to be hundred percent sure sir then get a microscopic examination of it and then we will have the diagnosis and treat accordingly. If it is ringworm of the foot it can take more than three months to heal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Harshita, Ophthalmologist
