How do I stop being a werewolf in Skyrim?
To stop being a werewolf in Skyrim, you can use the Flame of the Harbinger to cure lycanthropy, which is the disease that causes the transformation into a werewolf, by obtaining an extra head from other witches and igniting the flame once more. Alternatively, if you have the Dawnguard DLC, you can also become a werewolf again after curing yourself of lycanthropy the first time around.
