First of all don't share any clothes or linen or towels with the affected person. Fungal infection or ringworm is not so contagious but it does spread in close contacts. For treatment DO NOT use any cream like ringuard etc that has high potency steroids in it. Use an antifungal cream like Sertaconazole cream two times daily on the affected area along with Clotrimazole dusting powder.

Maintain good hygiene (read about it in detail from the internet ). Go from a check up so that it can be properly diagnosed by the doctor. Eat healthy and balanced diet and be active to keep your immunity in good shape.
