If you want to get rid of scalp ringworm fast, then what I have found to work for me is to dab bleach on the affected area, although, this may lead to permanent damage such as scarring, or permanent hair-loss. A more safe way is to us shampoos such as Nizoral shampoo, Sulfur 8 shampoo, Head and Shoulders, or selsum bleu shampoo. No matter what you do, always wash your pillow case and switch it out with another once every two days. From my past experiences, these have all worked for me, and my hair had started to grow back in about 2-3 months. Since I wrestle, i am expose to ringworm quite frequently. So, I really hope this helps, Good Luck! :)

Any topical antifungal will do the trick and since ketoconazole comes as a shampoo, this is a logical choice for your scalp. Assuming you've got hair right?
