go to the section in your drugstore or grocery store that sells medications for athlete's foot. Lotrimin in a tube works well, as does tinactin. Be sure and apply it twice a day for 10 days, even if it looks like the red ring is gone, as the fungus will still be present. Wash sheets, towels in hot water, wash clothing well, and take a clean towel for bathing every day until the ringworm is gone.

Don't put bleach on your kids head! Ring worm is a fungus easily treated with most over the counter antifungal creams and sprays. For a nasty case you might need prescriptions from a doctor. Lastly, how do you know it is ring worm? Could it be something else?

First you require a medical diagnosis of tinea capitis. There are plenty of OTCs that treat it plus some prescription antifungals. But before you start treating this yourself, you'd better know what you're dealing with. Too bad you didn't describe it. It's unmistakeable.

Tinactin works. Ringworm is a fungus...not a real worm.

it is a fungus, not a worm. use lamisol for athletes foot - it is the same thing.
