Chlorine kills it ...but direct contact...skin to skin...can spread it....just keep putting cream on and keep it covered...don't touch it you can spread it else where on your body.

I've heard an anti-fungal cream like Lotrimin or something like that works for ring worm also.

Clorox will dry it right up and for the itching try Dr. Tichner's mouthwash you know is that undilluted brownish like mouthwash it works wonders. I used to have these bad as a kid from my cat it might sound weird but it works. dont scratch it will spread and wash your bedding too. Hope this helps.

If that medicine is a prescription from your doctor, then just follow the instructions.
If it's not, then see a doctor.

ringworm is very contagious. hopefully, you will stay away from children and pregnant women till its healed. wash your hands and bedding. don't pick at it. use the med for at least 5 days after the "ring" is gone.

go to the doctor, if you can't you can try clear fingernail polish. apply it all over the area.
