Hello,

Ring worm is a kind of fungal infection. As a first line management you can apply topical anti-fungal like Clotrimazole after cleaning with soap and water.

You have to keep in mind that the anti-fungal creams has to be continued two weeks even after disappearance of the lesion. Incomplete treatment will be a reason for recurrence. Good personal hygiene is also important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you all the best.
