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.
NO DR. will tell you this but if you ask them they will agree to it. They just won't tell you so that you buy their expensive prescription.
tell your parents and then go to the doctor they will give you some cream to put on you and some pills to take daily for a month.
