You can use Lamisil (either the cream or a pill provided by the doc)  You can also use a little bit more painful and unsafe method- bleach.

Use an intensive healing hand cream. Some good ones to use are Neutrogena and, like someone mentioned previously, Udder Balm. They are both great and work wonders!!

Ring worm is actually not a worm, it's a fungal infection called "tinea cruris." It's caused by certain fungi found in the environment.\nYou want to keep the area as dry as possible and avoid topical steroids. You want to use topical anti-fungal meds like Spectazole, Nizoral, Lamisil...beleive it or not, one of the most effective and cheaper options is Monistat 7 - it's over-the-counter and safe too!\nIf a health professional can take a look, that would be best for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

It's going to sound crazy, but try the wart removers that they make for feet.  They're a bit stronger and the bandage part really sticks.  I used it on a wart I had on my finger and it was gone within a week.  The only yucky thing was that my finger was really pale where the medicine was and the wart left a little hole in my finger (it closed up, though and now it's like it was never there).  Just be ready to help it along and kinda peel that dead skin away so that the wart itself will be able to be pulled out.  It's kindy ugggh!, but it'll get rid of it.  Good luck!

Use over the counter athlete's foot cream just as you would for athlete's foot (follow directions on box).  Ringworm is caused by a fungus in the same fungus family.  If this is an infant consult a physician for treatment.

The medicine of choice is a topical antifungal.  Many topical antifungals are available without a prescription. Brand names include Micatin, Tinactin, Monistat-Derm, Lotrimin, and Lamisil.\n\nYou may need to take antifungal pills if ringworm does not clear after you have tried different topical antifungals or if the infection is widespread.  If so, you need to see a doctor to get a prescription for them.

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

Ringworm of the Scalp or Beard \n\nHome Treatment \n\n\nYou usually treat ringworm of the scalp or beard with antifungal pills prescribed by a doctor. Shampoos available without a prescription are helpful if you use them along with prescription pills but, when they are used alone, they cannot completely destroy all of the fungi causing the infection.\n\nIf you have ringworm of the scalp or beard:\n\nBe sure to complete the full course of any prescribed medication, or follow the directions for products available without a prescription. They often require use for a period of time after symptoms go away. \nWash your hair or beard 2 or 3 times a week with shampoo that has selenium sulfide in it, or with a shampoo that contains ketoconazole. In severe scalp fungal infections, wash your scalp daily and wear a cap. You should boil the cap after you use it.3 \nAs soon as you start treatment, throw away your combs and brushes, and buy new ones. \nIf your infection is severe, your doctor may check you every 2 weeks during your treatment and once after your treatment is complete. \nFollow the suggestions for preventing ringworm, such as keeping your skin clean and dry, and not sharing hats, combs, or brushes with others. \nAsk your doctor whether your family members need to be tested. Family members can use an antifungal shampoo with selenium sulfide in it (such as Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders Intensive Treatment) to prevent the spread of infection. \nIt is not necessary to keep children out of school during treatment for ringworm of the scalp if the treatment includes a selenium sulfide shampoo to control shedding. It is also not necessary to shave the child's head.1
