No: Did a doctor tell you it was ring worm/tinea previously? I would not suggest using something on the facial skin without knowing the proper diagnosis. Could make the problem worse or not help at all. Get a correct diagnosis and then you will have less worries and quicker treatment. Might have to go out and see a medical provider in your area.
