Many ringworm infections are treatable, but that doesn’t mean they should all be handled at home. Mild cases often respond to over-the-counter remedies without medical care. But when a ringworm infection refuses to get better — when it gets even more itchy, more inflamed, or it won’t stop spreading — it’s time for an urgent care visit.
At Amory Urgent Care, we frequently evaluate rashes that aren’t improving at home or are spreading faster than expected. If you’re unsure whether what you’re seeing is ringworm or another skin condition, we’ll help you sort through the symptoms and understand what your next move should be.
Ringworm spreads quickly if untreated. Find out how to recognize the symptoms, when to seek urgent care and what to expect during a visit at Amory Urgent Care.
