apply a small amount of salicylic acid tincture to it (only the affected area, it does damage skin!) a couple times a day

I managed to catch ring worm in a scrape I had on my shin from cats who had it. Ring worm is not a worm, but instead a fungus that thrives on damaged skin (hence the appearance on my scraped shin). For me, an over-the-counter athlete's foot (antifungal) cream worked very quickly (Lamasil, Lotramin, Tenactin, etc) Good luck!

Ouch, ring worms are nasty! Have you tried tea tree oil? or cream, best if pure, not diluted and you put it directly on your skin.
Wash regularly , do not reuse towels, face towels etc. you can also use tea tree talcum. and get a good immune system booster, stay away from sweet stuff

I don't see any positive answers here so, why don't you see your doctor and get a proper prescription and treat yourself with a known treatment before it spreads.
This is also highly contagious, so get on with it and get it done before you've got a real problem.

Tinactin, Lotrimen or dissolve a aspirin and make a paste and put it on the ringworm

I believe you can get an over the counter cream to treat it or you can just go see your doc and have them prescribe you something.
