Hello,
Ringworm is a fungal infection of skin and to get rid of fungal infection one should start a proper oral (tablets / capsules ) and topical (creams/lotions) medicines after a thorough examination. So kindly consult a dermatologist asap and get well soon.
Other care you should take :
1) wash your clothes separately in hot water
2) dry in sun light
3) do not wear damp clothes
4) all clothes including inners should be ironed before using
5) try to keep the affected area as dry as possible
6) take bathe twice a day n dry your body completely before wearing clothes.
