First you should see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Keep your skin clean and dry.
Apply over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders, lotions, or creams. Those that contain miconazole, clotrimazole, or similar ingredients are often effective. Brand names can include Desenex, Lotromin and Nizoral. Wash sheets and nightclothes every day while infected. A severe or persistent infection may require treatment by a doctor. Antifungal pills may be given and are necessary if your hair is infected. Prescription antifungal skin medications, such as ketoconazole, are stronger than over-the-counter products and may be needed. Antibiotics may also be needed to treat related bacterial infections.

Use an antifungal cream like athletes foot cream, jock itch cream or vaginal yeast cream. They are all same and will take care of ringworm.

Nizerol cream/shampoo works well. If it is on your scalp you will need to take tablets for it my nephew has it and is on a course of Lamisil tablets which works wonders.
