No, a scratch cannot turn into ringworm, as ringworm is a fungal infection caused by dermatophytes, not by scratches or wounds. However, if a scratch becomes infected or if the area is exposed to the fungi that cause ringworm, it could potentially develop into a fungal infection. It's important to keep scratches clean and monitor for signs of infection to prevent complications. If you suspect a fungal infection, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Milk has no effect, whatsoever, on ringworm sores. Ringworm is a fungus infection and requires treatment with an anti-fungal ointment or medicine.

If that does not do the job for you in a couple of weeks, then GO TO A DOCTOR and get a prescription drug!!! Do NOT scratch the sores, as that will just spread the fungus around. Signed . . .
