How long does it take for ringworm to show?

The incubation period for ringworm (tinea) infections varies depending on the type of fungus involved and the individual's immune response. Generally, it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks for symptoms to develop after exposure to the fungus.

In some cases, ringworm infections may not show any symptoms for several months or may even remain asymptomatic altogether. However, it's important to seek medical attention if you suspect a ringworm infection, as early treatment can help prevent the spread of the infection to other areas of the body or to other individuals.
