How bad is the ringworm? If you have it in more than 2 spots, I recommend you go to the doctor and get a prescription medication. Make sure they give you both the pills and cream.

It should take about 3-4 weeks (sorry!) to go away completely. Apply the cream twice daily to the spots in a thin layer. Any athletes foot cream will work, but I recommend Lotrimin Ultra.

If you decide to go to the doctor, you will probably get XYZAL, which is very effective at treating this.

Besides medication, one of the things that helps is to reverse the conditions that allowed the fungus to take hold. It's a good idea to go to a nutritionist and see what they think of your typical diet. It may be that your diet is making you the perfect medium for growing it, and until you quit "fertilizing" it, it's going to keep coming back.
