It's VERY common, you usually get it from cats. It's a fungus, not a worm. It will clear up in a few days with the ointment. Not to worry dear.

Ringworm is caused by a fungus. If your doctor didn't prescribe an antifungal like Nizoral or Nystatin cream. You can get an over the counter antifungal cream.
It won't go away by itself and when you first start putting the crean on the rash it will appear to be spreading, bu it's not, it's just starting to run, because it knows it's dying.
Don't worry other people get it too, especially if you have pets. You will be fine.

i get ringworms during the summer time for some reason there's nothing to worry about its just a skin condition that can be treated if you're not use to having them then you really dont have anything to worry about cause that will probably be your last time having one. my aunt use to put blue ink from an ink pen on it and it dries out the itchiness and the little blisters that occur around it but you be okay try that or you can use blue star ointment its in a white jar and you can get it from walgreens or walmart its not expensive

it's not big deal. I caught it from my neighbor's cat when I was a kid. I used tinactin which the doctor gave me and it was gone within a week.
