NO ... you will only alleviate the symptom ... the itch. Ringworm is caused by a fungus, so to cure the prime cause, you will have to use an anti-fungal agent

Scalp ringworm needs to be treated with a special shampoo and pill called Terbinafine. Skin-based ringworm needs to be treated with a course of Itraconazole medication. Vaginal anti-fungal cream will have no effect on ringworm.


Can you use Hydrocortisone Cream 1 percent on eyelids?

I had flaking dry skin on my eyelids. Daktarin helped the dryness but did not cure it. The doctor prescribed clotrimazole and hydrocortisone cream twice a day for 7 days. It was scary stuff and I was very careful to not use too much at a time, it did irritate the eyes if I put on too much. That said, the reason I'm posting is after eight months of problems, two months with Daktarin, this cream dealt with the issue completely in a week and I am very happy.
