Along with medication, you need prevention as well. Ringworm so keep recurring even if small problem is not taken care of. -avoid coming in contact with others, as this spreads fast, -keep your skin clean and dry. -change your clothes at least once a day. -wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. Avoid tight underwear, pants, and panty hose. -always dry yourself completely after showers or baths. After drying your skin with a towel, allow your skin to air-dry before putting your clothes on. -you can also use a hair dryer, set on a cool setting, to dry your skin. -do not share clothing, sports equipment, towels, or sheets. If you think you have been exposed to ringworm, wash your clothes in hot water with fungus-killing (fungicidal) soap. -wear slippers or sandals in locker rooms, showers, and public bathing areas. -shower and shampoo thoroughly after any sport that requires skin-to-skin contact.
