Hi everyone. My Stella has been suffering from ringworms and it’s horrible. Wanna say we are going on the 3rd week. It seems to be getting better but I’m a little confused. The areas have been scabbing and once the scab is gone the area where the ringworm is at seems to get smaller. Is this a normal healing process? Ringworms will just naturally go away correct? Thanks for all the help!

You’ll need to get a ringworm treatment for him from the vet. Ringworm is infectious, which means that you could get it too. The faster you can take him to the vet, the less spores the fungus will produce, making treatment and cleaning easier.

Good advice here. It will continue to repeat and to spread unless well treated along with clearing the whole environment as it can still be picked up from fabrics where the spores settle even if you and the cat have been treated. Vinegar is a good natural cleanser for the environment if you spray over surfaces but make sure it's OK for anything you use it on. Skin and fur need targeted treatment.
