If you want to make it worst, then use it. Ringworm is a fungal infection. You'd need an anti-fungal to treat it. A topical steroid normally will make bacterial or fungal skin infections worst if you use it by itself. This is because steroid lower your immune response. Steroid is good for inflammation, which is an increased in immune response to something. It's possible to use both topical steroid and anti-fungal at the same time because some yeast skin infection can be very inflamed also.
