To improve ringworm, keep the affected area clean and dry, as moisture can worsen the condition. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or ointments, such as clotrimazole or terbinafine, can effectively treat the infection when applied as directed. Additionally, avoid sharing personal items and wear breathable clothing to prevent spreading the infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options.
