First, you should consult a doctor to make sure that you have the ringworm. When the diagnosis from the doctor comes as ringworm infection, he will most probably recommend the kind of medication depending on extent and location of the infection. The treatments range from topical anti-fungal creams on affected areas or systemic anti-fungal tablets like Diflucan for 3 months.
