Topical antifungal: Ring worm is caused by a fungal infection and can be treated with a topical antifungal such as Clotrimazole or ketoconazole.

Antifungals: Ringworm is the common term for a fungal I infection involving the skin. The majority of times it can be cleared with topical antifungal medicine.

You must be compliant with topical meds or you just won't be able to clear up the infection.
