My cat has ringworm. Should I brush out her patchy hair from treatment?

I'm treating Sierra with oral antifungals and lime sulfur dips once a week for ringworm. Her hair is patchy in places. should I encourage this hair to fall out? Brush it out?? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 6 days old | 3 lbs

The patches are not uncommon from ring worm and will grow back in with time. You will not hurt anything by brushing but ibwiukd not pull out any more hit. If it comes out with brushing then no big deal
