Expert Answer

Ringworm is a stubborn disease usually needing about a month to cure, depending on infection severity and drug efficacy. Mild cases may heal in 1 to 2 weeks with prompt treatment.

It is a fungal infection treated with antifungal medications containing ketoconazole or terbinafine, or medicated baths, but avoid baths for cats not fully vaccinated.
