The typical ringworm rash on the body looks like a red circular lesion with a scaly border and these areas may be itchy.
An over-the-counter antifungal cream or ointment is the usual treatment for ringworm, except for tinea capitis, which is much more difficult to treat and often requires several months of an oral medication (like Griseofulvin).
Prescription topical creams, suspensions and lotions are also available, like Loprox, Spectazole and Oxistat are also available.
