Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare Magic. Ringworm is a common fungal infection of the skin. It is usually treated with antifungal medicines. I would suggest:

1. Wash the rash with soap and water, and dry thoroughly. For large areas of blistered sores, use compresses such as those made with Burow's solution (available without a prescription) to soothe and dry out the blisters.

2. Apply antifungal cream(which contains miconazole, neomycin, cotrimazole) beyond the edge or border of the rash.

3. Don't stop using the medicine just because your symptoms go away. You will probably need to continue treatment for 2 to 4 weeks.

I hope this helps
