How long is scalp ringworm contagious?

I am a 33 year old male. I want to know how long is scalp ringworm contagious?

To be safe, I would say after one month of both topical and oral treatment. I don't the technical answer, this is just my opinion.
Scalp ringworm is uncommon in an adult, so make certain of the diagnosis. Oral therapy is usually required for cure; once completed, you are no longer contagious.
