Ringworm is not a worm, but a fungus infection of the genus Tinea. Ringworm of the scalp or beard should be referred to a health care professional for treatment.
Effective skin treatments are fungicides, so you can try topical creams that contain miconazole, clotrimazole, and/or gentamicin sulfate. If these do not work, or if you have other health issues, oral anti-fungal drugs are available by prescription.
