Did : Did you apply as directed for at least two weeks; ensuring that you spread an inch beyond the border of the lesion? Did you wash all bedsheets, towels and clothes that you were in contact with in hot water?

See a dermatologist: "Ringworm" is not an actual medical diagnosis but usually means fungus. It does not just happen. It comes from an animal or another person. How you do your laundry is not important. Oral terbinafine is often the best treatment. In your case you probably have something other than fungus. See a dermatologist. Stop fooling around and consult a pro.
