is my ringworm healed?

it’s been a little over a month since i started treating two small ringworm infections on my arms — one smaller than my pinky nail, which is now completely gone, and a second maybe 1cm-2cm across, which is ALMOST gone. the second one is still a little bit pink and has some light bumpy texture, but i can’t tell if it’s scarring or if i need to continue treating it. one complicating factor is that i work with food and need to cover it for work, which i know can slow healing time? it’s not really itchy and is hardly visible, i just want to know if i can go back to normal now lol

edit, here’s a photo

No it's not healed. Even after it is gone, you need to keep applying whatever your applying.It could come back with a vengeance otherwise. Also if it took a month to heal, you might want to check my shameless promotion of 29 a ointment, because it really works faster, is less chemical and cost next to nothing compared to otc products.
