My son has a ringworm i can't get rid of. tried bleach and anti-fungal cream for a month. what else can i try to get rid of asap?

Ringworm: do not attempt to use bleach directly to a ringworm, you may end up causing much more harm than good. also, is the ring worm on the skin or the scalp? Depending on the area involved, different medications may be needed. Have a follow up visit with your pediatrician to check the ringworm and see if a different treatment is necessary. Also, there are other skin conditions that look like ringworm.

I have a ringworm on my cheek and I've been using anti fungal cream. I noticed two red dots around 2 inches below it . Could this be sign of spreading?? They kind of just seem like pimples, but I don't usually get pimples?
How do I stop ringworm from spreading? I think I got it from my cat and no matter how much I try and how much I do, it's spreading. It started under my arm now it's on my arm, face, hands.... It's awful. Using an anti-fungal cream as well.
