I am suffering from ring worm shall i apply coconut oil?

You can do as you wish. I doubt the material would do anything more than make you think you did something. Over the counter tinactin or clotrimazole would be helpful.

Be careful and before self diagnosing and self treating confirm diagnosis first with your doc. Applying creams or ointments on misdiagnosed rashes may worsen them and make them hard to diagnose.
