It can take a good month, month and half to get rid of it. It is quite a nuisance. I have been treating my daughter for 3 weeks now and the doctor says to wait another 3-4 weeks to see if it clears...if not she will prescribe her a prescription strength cream.

Try "Blue Star Ointment" it is thick like Vaseline, but has medicine in it to kill ringworm and many other types of skin irritations. Use a cotton swab to apply so you don't contaminate the bottle and cover with a band-aid. should start clearing up right away.

Ring worm usually comes from cats or dogs.If they stay in house or sleep on bed,thats where you are getting them or kids with them and passing them on to you.Check drugstore for med specifically for ringworm.

Keep treating it. It make take months to get it gone.
It will spread very easily and you just have to keep treating it.
The cream from the doctor will not work much better than the over the counter stuff.
Good luck.

You need a prescription (or maybe your doctor has samples) for Mentax ointment. It really works. And quickly, too. Takes about 5 - 7 days.

You may also try another type of anti-fungal medication. Look in the athlete's foot department, and read the active ingredients to be sure your not getting the same medication by a different name.
