Dr. Mitzi Scotten answered

Antifungal cream: Ringworm on the skin responds to antifungal cream like clotrimazole and miconazole- I also included a link to some other suggestions which include use of selsun shampoo and cidar vinegar. Note that it takes a LONG time for ring worm to go away compared to most infections- thinks weeks/months and if it is on the nails or hair you need a medicine from your doctor http://www.medicinenet.com/ringworm/patient-comments-22.htm
