True "ringworm" (tinea) can only be treated with one of the many effective topical antifungal creams, such as miconazole (Tinactin) or clotrimazole (Lotrimin). Lanolin is basically a moisturizer, so if you have rough red patches from overly dry skin (which is not tinea) this might be an effective treatment.

Don't tell the tanning business that you have ringworm because they might not let you into the beds. (You can trust this answer, I have had ringworm multiple times, it comes with being a wrestler)
