Clotrimazole crm: Use Clotrimazole cream twice a day for at least 2 weeks after it is gone. If it is not getting better after a week of this, check with your doctor.

Terbinafine: If you are certain that you have "ring worm", these are fungal infections that are primarily due to dermatophytes called t. Rubrum. I find that otc terbinafine cream has better coverage for t. Rubrum than clotrimazole, which is best against yeast.
