Hello Mr. lybrate-user, ring worms also medically called as tinea cruris infection, needs a course of antifungal for 6-8 weeks atleast and then it is treated successfully, the ointment dermikem oc which you have applied is a wrong medication for this as it contains steroid, which will lead to some improvement but more damage, you can consult online if you want or show to your local dermatologist, but do a proper course, kind regards. I hope it was helpful.
