What Causes Red Dry Patches On Legs After Having Ringworm?

I just recently had ringworm on my thigh and I treated it with clotrimazole lotion and tea tree oil. I did that for 4 weeks, but now I am getting these light red dry patches on my legs. They don t itch, like the ringworm did, but I am wondering if it s still that, or if it may be something else.

Hello,

This patches also could be ringworm infestation. It hardly takes 4 days to incubation. So better to rule any contact with people infected with ringworm.

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

Take care
