there are different creams and ointments at the drugstore that should help and if it doesnt go away in 4 weeks then go to the doctor because it may be immune to normal treatment and you will need something stronger.

∙ 12y agoRingworm cannot be easily prevented, since it is such a contagious infection, but if you do happen to get ringworm, treat it with tea-tree oil and make sure to keep it covered with a band-aid. Make sure that if it doesn't go away soon, you consult your doctor.
I was given a rather poor ringworm cream that was very weak by my school nurse. The ringworm didn't clear up after a while, and I began to break out in rashes, spots and scabs over my legs. We went to a doctor soon afterwards and the doctor said that the ringworm had been on me for too long and that I was now allergic to it. I was prescribed 3 lots of tablets, and the red marks cleared up in 2 weeks. My legs are badly scarred, and it is embarrassing for me to wear shorts, as little kids often point and stare at the scars. I always know if someone else has ringworm, sometimes even before them, because my legs break out in the spots again. When this happens, I have to take tablets the size of my thumb twice a day, but the scars remain.
Always cover up your ringworm, so that it doesn't affect others in the way that it has affected me.

∙ 10y agoKeep it dry. Is the only solution. But is impossible to practice as millions of people live in hot and humid climate. Hot and humid climate is 'not' suitable for human residence. ( Hot and dry can be managed easily. In cotton industry such climate is created artificially.) You have to take baths twice or thrice a day with neutral soap like glycerine soap. Dusting of the moist area with clotrimazole powder like that of groin and axila will help to prevent the infection. (Vinegar application is worth trying after clinical trial.)
