Ringworm is mostly treated just with a cream, it is however very necessary that you don't use the cream past it's expiration date. If you don't treat ringworm the skin might start to blister and then you will need antibiotics.

You can purchase an over the counter cream to cure ringworm. Keep in mind that it is very contagious and that your pets may be carrying the fungus. Be sure to use the cream for the period recommended on the package. If it becomes an open sore, you will need a Doctor to prescribe antibiotics.

Keep the area clean, apply an anti-fungal agent which can be purchased over the counter and wash any clothing or bed sheets that came into contact with the infected area.
