ringworm isn't a worm, it is a fungi and so the "worm" does not eat anything (because there isn't actually a worm under the skin). However the fungi feeds on the dead skin cells on the outer layer of our skin. ringworm has the ability to digest keratin (that is the main chemical in our skin) and this is what it eats. it does this by doing extracellular digestion (this is where the digestion happens outside of the cells body i.e. on our skin and not in the cell)

You should be drinking at least 20 cups of water per day. if you are medication, don't even think about drinking alcahol, and remember, if you have to come to an answer site, your doctor isn't doing a very good job.
