Is it common for ringworm to have a clear liquid coming out of it? What does it mean if it does? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that usually happens?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ringworm typically presents as a red, scaly rash that may be itchy. Oozing clear liquid from a ringworm lesion can indicate a secondary bacterial infection. This is a cause for concern as it may require additional treatment to clear the infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Lotrimin Ultra twice a day on the affected area, along with an antibiotic cream like Neosporin to prevent bacterial infection. If the oozing persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
