Some times when I work in my flower garden I end up getting ringworm. I think that even though I wear my gloves I forget, I get an itch and then touch my skin with the glove and I end up getting ringworm. So I'm sure that it's from the dirt in my flower garden.
Read this as it should help you take care of the problem.
Go to the drug store and buy an anti fungal ointment, you really don't need to go to the doctor to obtain this as there is no need to waste your money doing that.
Make sure to wash the infected area and dry it with a towel that no one else is going to use.
Follow the directions, apply a thin coat of it to the infected area. Use it as the directions say to use it. I think it is like twice daily.
Make sure that you don't forget to use it every day until the ringworm is totally gone from the area. It won't be long before it is total healed up.
The product that you want to buy is called Tinactin.

Ringworm is a fungal infection, not a worm. It was named that due to its round appearance that looks as though a tiny 'worm' is under the skin. But it's a fungus.
You need an antifungal cream. Nizoral is commonly recommended. Some places you can get it without a prescription---you might have to ask a pharmacist for it. But get the cream FAST. It is quite contagious and you don't want to give it to others.

Ringworm is just a fungus. Do you or someone you know have some of that Atheletes Foot spray. That'll kill it. If not go to any cheap dollar store and get Antifungal Cream about 2 bucks. That'll kill it really fast. Don't waste no money going to the doctor or buying expensive medicene.

Ringworm is a fungus. You can try an over-the-counter anti-fungal medication. Otherwise, call your doctor for a prescription.
