Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Ringworm is highly contagious, and it spreads easily from person to person.
I suggest to use an anti fungal medication such as Clotrimazole cream for local application.
I also recommend a good hygiene.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
