Bmac is right on the money. It's called ringworm, but it's just a fungal infection. No animals involved here. OTC Lotrimin. That's what you need buy it and use it. It works.
Ringworm?

Ringworm is a fungus and you need an anti-fungal to treat it. Antibiotics won't do anything for it unless there is a bacterial infection in the ringworm site.

Go to the store and get some Lotrimin. Yes, it's usually for "jock itch" and athlete's foot, but it IS an anti-fungal and WILL treat ringworm. HONEST!

Anti-fungal cream prescribed by a doctor
In addition to anti-fungal creams, make sure you do not aggravate the problem by drying out the skin by washing the infected areas with soap. Use a gentle cleanser like Dove or Nutrogena. Also, if there's any way to reduce moisture in the infected areas- that would help. If she still needs diapers, try to minimize the amount of time she spends in the diapers, or maybe cut a few slits into the plastic high up on the diaper so it can release moisture.
ringworm is right contagious,can spread from animal from people.and this is too common particularly to children.her are some way to get rid ringworm.
1.start taking the over-counter treatment immediately.like buying some anti fungal drug treatment.
2.wash daily.do not use a towel coz thats a great way to spread ringworm all over the body.
