My cat has a few patches like in the photo and one or two small itchy bumps; is it ringworm, and is it serious?
From the distant photo, ringworm is hard to confirm. Suspected cases: shave fur 2cm around, check with a Wood's lamp (green glow confirms), then clean with peroxide and apply antifungal cream (terbinafine, ketoconazole, itraconazole). Use an Elizabethan collar and disinfect the environment; if no glow, get a skin scrape at the vet.

After being infected with cat ringworm, with timely antifungal treatment, a person usually improves noticeably in about a week, and full recovery generally takes around a month; the exact time depends on severity and drug effect. For a small infected area, apply antifungal cream such as naftifine or ketoconazole. For a larger area, also take a broad-spectrum antifungal like itraconazole orally, but only under a doctor's guidance.
