If there is a public health clinic or county clinic in your area, drop by and ask if someone can help you with this. Otherwise, you have to make an appointment and see a doctor in the private sector. Ring worm is contagious, so hopefully you can get it taken care of soon.

You can try to call any family practitioner or a dematologist and see if they are accepting new patients. Make sure they understand that you don't have insurance but you are willing to pay any expenses. Some doctors may give you a hard time and want payment up front for services, some won't see you at all. Or you could go to a walk-in clinic and they will just send you a bill.

You need to call and find out if the doctor is excepting new patients. Then if they are you need to schedule an appointment. Otherwise you can see if your local hospital has medical clinic that you can use on a walk in basis for non emergancy treatment. Your health department may also be able to help you. Good Luck

A general practitioner, Internist, family practice. You can see the nurse practitioner there or the physician's assistant for ringworm. They are just going to give you an anti-fungal cream.

Honestly you can probably clear it up with the same tube of oinment they use for Athletes feet, that is what they give you for that anyway. We have used it many times for kids and grandkids alike. Tolfanate cream- like for athletes foot- that will work. Wash your hands- it is contagious, and will spread. It can also be caused by stress.

Your two questions are a little confusing. If you are a cash patient, you can go to any doctor but you should call ahead and schedule an appointment.
