Any OTC (OVER THE COUNTER) anti fungal cream Lamasil is the best.

Hello,
Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin causing itchy red circular rashes. People living in damp, humid or crowded conditions, who sweat excessively, wear tight clothing or have a weakened immune system are usually prone for fungal infections. It is best to see a dermatologist.Toipcal antifungals like Clotrimazole, Terbinafine may help. If the patch is large oral medications may be needed. Maintain good hygiene. Avoid sharing personal items. Do write to us again on how you are doing.
Take care and best regards!
