What do you suggest if my son has ringworm and scratch the affected area it now looks like a lot of bumps that's been shaved what should i do?

Try Lotrimin (clotrimazole) : Covering it up sometimes helps with the scratching. Also I would recommend trimming and filing his nails and treat the ringworm so that it doesn't itch as much. U can also give Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for the itching
