Ringworm first: It would be better to treat ringworm first to avoid getting deeper tissues affected by fungus. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Laser Hair Removal: Best to treat ringworm first for many reasons: It is contagious and you might spread it to others. You are more likely for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation in those areas (brown spots that could be permanent).
