Put toothpaste on the infected area once every night and one time throughout the day, or twice per day.
Also a way to help rid of ringworm faster is to lick the infected area right before applying the toothpaste. spitting helps but not as much as licking because of the bacteria on your tongue.

In most cases, it can be treated with over the counter antifungal creams (Go to the "foot section" of any local drugstore and you'll see several products that treat athlete's foot. These will treat many other cases of ringworm as well.)
