Ringworm is not an easy treatment? I once found a litter stray of kittens with ringworm and the vet had me bathe them in lime sulfur. The ringworm was gone in a matter of a very few days. I acquired a calf with a very bad case and the vet gave me something, I don't know what, but it was clear, and it worked like a charm. Worked on me too when I got ringworm at a goat show. There had been a dog show held on the grounds shortly before and a lot of the goats and exhibitors showed up with ringworm shortly after. I have used gentian violet, strong iodine, and athlete's foot medicine to treat ringworm and they all worked. I just wish everything was as easy to get rid of as ringworm. There may be some resistant strains out there, but fortunately I have never encountered any. I was once given a puppy with mange and ear mites. Took him to the vet, treated him as instructed, and those cleared up quickly too. It did take a little longer to get rid of the ringworm than it did the mange or ear mites, but even then it was a matter of days, not weeks.I agree that a vet is your best option. There are several things the hair loss could be. If it is Ringworm, it is not an easy treatment and can take a long time to go away. Cats tend to get reinfected in their environments. You may have to discard any soft bedding that cannot be washed. Anything that is wood and cannot be easily disinfected can also cause reinfection. A vet will be able to direct you once they make a diagnosis.
Things like mange and ear mites are generally easier to treat.
