Rep Power: 0 | I have a spot on my arm where I had ringworm a few months ago. I know, eeew, but I rescued a kitty that had it over 90% of her body (and she is all better now! yay). Anyway, this area doesn't seem to tan as well as the rest of my arm. Will this ever go away, or will I always have a little white patch? |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Ringworm... The ringworm basically does the same thing as tinea versicolor - it causes the area to lose its tan, so that area is starting over in the tanning process. It will take a few weeks to a month, but the area will eventually catch back up. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Ringworm... After the ringworm itself has been treated, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to over a month for the spots to blend back in depending on the skintype and tanning frequency of the person in question. For me, it takes anywhere from 7-9 sessions for them to blend. (by the way, my spots are from tv, not ringworm. I've been fortunate to only catch ringworm once from a stray pooch) |
