How to cure ringworm?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Antifungal med: Ringworm is a skin infection secondary to fungus. Medications such as Miconazole applied to the area as directed on the package should be successful. These medications, creams and lotions, are usually in the "foot" section of a pharmacy or grocery store. You should be certain of what you are treating and if it does not improve with treatment see your pcp.

Depends on location: For ringworm on the skin, a topical antifungal can be used. Over the counter Clotrimazole would work. If the ringworm is on the scalp or in a hairline, an oral prescriptive antifungal would be required to cure the infection.
