Hi..
Thanks for the query..
From the signs you told, it may not be a ring worm..
It could be a superficial skin infection which are generally self limiting leaving scars sometimes..
You can start her on oral antibiotics and tablets/syrup paracetemol for pain relief..
Observe and if it is increasing, consult a doctor for a better treatment.
Hope I answered your query..
Take care...
