To clear the infection properly, you should take a course of oral anti-fungal medications. Combine the medication with a specialized shampoo 2-3 times a week to kill the fungal spores.

Your best bet would be a more natural route. Try some witch hazel, or diluted tea tree oil. Both are natural anti-fungals, and I use them often with great results.

If you suspect ringworm, you need to be treated by a doctor as soon as possible. It is highly contagious.
