Ringworm can be treated with almost any athletes foot antifungal cream purchased (very cheaply, I might add) from the local drug store. Usually the package will also says that it treats ringworm. Ringworm and athletes foot are caused by the same fungus. I am not 100% positive, but I have been told by some knowledgeable people that humans will not catch the ringworm fungus that is carried by cattle. Once the ringworm has been treated so that the skin is smooth, and the scab is gone, it is no longer contagious, but will return if not treated until the skin is completely healed and regrowing hair.
