Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Ringworms are caused by a fungal infection. Topical medication can be used for the areas where your lesions are located, oral medication is needed if the scalp or nails are involved.
These creams may be available over the counter and include ketoconazole, tioconazole, terbinafine and miconazole.
In terms of the pain that you are experiencing- it could be related to trauma either from an acute event or as a result of repetitive movements.
Some persons also have a mass called a ganglion near the wrist that can cause pain. This is a cyst that can result in pain.You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment.
I hope this helps
