Ringworm can return if the fungal infection is not completely cleared or if the skin stays warm and moist. Keep the affected area clean and dry, avoid sharing towels or clothes, and wash clothing regularly. Continue the antifungal treatment for the full course your doctor advised, even if the rash improves. Consult a doctor if it keeps coming back, as you may need longer treatment.
