You should apply the: Lotrimin (clotrimazole) for at least 7 days (unless it is gone before that). The itchiness does usually resolve first. If the redness does not improve after 7-10 days, please follow up with your doctor.

Ring Worm: Ringworm is a common fungal skin infection otherwise known as tinea. Ringworm most commonly affects the skin on the body (tinea corporis), the scalp (tinea capitis), the feet (tinea pedis, or athlete's foot), or the groin (tinea cruris, or jock itch). http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-ringworm
