Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please do not self diagnose of self treat. Ringworm is a fungal skin infection caused by a fungus. Ringworm occurs when a particular type of fungus grows and develops on the top layer of your skin. The fungus infection thrives in warm, moist areas such as, under the foreskin of your penis. The infection is a common fungal skin disorder, affects people of all ages. Although its name suggests otherwise, it is caused by a fungus, not a worm. Ringworm is contagious.

Ringworm can be treated with anti fungal creams and ointment. But before that, you should consult a skin specialist to confirm that the problem is related to ring worm. Consult a dermatologist.
