Hi,
Thankyou for quiry.
Brief answer..get a swab test done first.
Detailed answer...
Since ring worm can occur using infected towels or sharing clothes with infected person.But as your baby is also discharging ,so get a swab test done to differentiate between chlamydial or fungal infection and treat accordingly..
For ring worm you may apply nystatin powder and cortizone cream 2 times a day daily for few days and follow accordingly.
Hopefully my answer is helpfull.
