Can someone tell me if penicillina cream is good for ringworms ?

Tinea corporis: Tinea corporis (ringworm) is a fungal infection of the skin generally characterized (intially) by a red raised round patch, followed by central clearing and an advancing border. Treatment is with topical antifungals. Penicillin is ineffective and not a recommended treatment for ringworm.
