Because ringworm is highly contagious, you should wash your sheets daily to get rid of the infection faster. Instead, wear comfortable, breathable clothes to speed healing and avoid spreading the rash to other people. Its been a horrid 8 weeks but I'm glad that it seems to be going - I'm just praying that its gone for good and will stay away for my wedding next year. Bandaging the rash locks in moisture and slows the healing process. The early patches and herald patch have almost completely faded and the patches I got later on are still there but beginning to go. Depending on the severity, road rash can be divided into 3 categories that are first, second and third degree or road rash. However, some road rash might take more than that to heal. Within a week the rash had faded down to a tan colour and once the flaking had gone the tan patches were dry looking but flat. If the road rash is not severe and it is treated with care and good hygiene standard, usually it will heal within 2 weeks. A week later the itch had all but gone (except when after a shower) The patches enlarged and flattened and started to fade from the inside of the patch outwards.

About a week before it started to fade I think it 'peaked' it was intensely itchy and very dry and flaky. I'm so relieved - I can happily say that my PR is finally clearing up.
