Basics: You get the most from this site when you provide a detailed description of your health issue followed by a clear related question. Skin issues usually require a direct exam or location/color/raised or flat/exposure history/ past attempts to treat/etc. Your post gives locations with nothing else. You will likely just need to be examined.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Your symptoms are not typical of ringworm and it would be prudent to see a doctor. You may try over the counter antifungal skin cream, but I would urge you to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Wish you good health!
