After a long time, a large area of ​​ringworm will form. The skin will not thicken, but the skin of the affected area of ​​mites will thicken. Formation of folds.

3. Small abscesses form after fungal skin bacterial infection. The damaged skin after scabbing appears honeycomb-like. There are many seepage holes. After small nodules form on the mite's skin, the skin blisteres. After breaking, a yellow oily viscous substance oozes out. Scales form after drying. After the scab is removed, the skin will be bright red, moist, and bleeding.
