Hi Acorn
Cause
Ringworm is most often due to poor hygiene and/or too tightly enclosed clothing that can cause excessive sweating in the affected area. To treat and prevent ringworm, bathe or shower at least once a day, and change socks and underwear every day. If you use showers in public areas, such as in the gym, wear shower sandals to avoid fungal contact with your feet and toes.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: Topical applications of rosemary, tea tree, lavender, geranium, peppermint, thuja, and/or thyme can be helpful.
Diet: Avoid all sugars, alcohol, processed foods, and foods to which you are allergic or sensitive (screen for food allergies). Also avoid wheat and dairy products, and eat plenty of organic, fresh vegetables, as well as garlic and onions, both of which act as natural antibiotics. In addition, drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.
Herbs: To speed healing, apply a paste made of equal parts myrrh powder and goldenseal powder mixed with a little water.
Homeopathy: Useful remedies include Sepia, Arsen alb., and Graphites.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients are recommended: garlic capsules and probiotic substances such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria, vitamin A, vitamin B-complexB-complex, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin E, bee pollen, evening primrose oil, citrus seed extract (orally and applied topically), and colloidal silver (applied topically).
Topical Treatment: Tape or bandage a thin slice of garlic directly over the affected area for several days.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating ringworm: Detoxification Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Oxygen Therapy (ozonated olive oil applied topically), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Best of health to you
Cheers

I had ringworm when I was 12, I am 34 now, and never had a scar from it or darkened area. You should see a doctor to have it removed if possible.
