Young lady .. you appear distressed and that's why I picked this question to answer inspite of it being posed a while ago.
Hopefully by the time you get this it will be well under control
I understand you mentioned ring-worm but all skin lesions that are circular or annular need not be ring-worm.
Please send 📥 or via oNline consultation via this app or Apollo 24/7 consult me ONLINE as you are a lady or consider visiting a lady dermatologist if more comfortable given the location of your issue.
A detailed history and some skin scraping test for KOH & or a fungal culture 🧫 test may help in isolation of the exact causative agent and an appropriate antifungal may be then given
Health Tips
Antifungals be it topical or systemic (oral) must be continued for about 1-2 weeks post total clinical clearance of your condition.
Treatment of Fomites, clothes and other members of family or contacts affected is important to help eradicate and prevent recurrences 🙏
