Yes, it is possible to have a ringworm infection for an extended period, such as two years, especially if it is not properly treated. Ringworm is a fungal infection that can persist if the underlying cause, such as poor hygiene or a weakened immune system, is not addressed. Additionally, if the infection is misdiagnosed or treated ineffectively, it may continue to recur. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for resolving the infection.
