ringworm cream

Skin infection treatment

Ringworm cream is a topical antifungal medication used to treat ringworm—a skin infection caused by fungi, not worms, despite the name.

The cream is applied directly to the affected area to eliminate the fungus and relieve itching: The pharmacist recommended an over-the-counter ringworm cream.
