Suggest Treatment For Ring Worm Infection On The Ankle

I have obvious ringworm on my ankle. Im pretty certain I got it on a dance studio floor during a half day meditation. It is exactly where my ankle touches the floor when I cross my legs indian style. What is the best otc treatment? I am not very good at being a regular applicator of medicine for more than a couple days and I know that I need a solid treatment or this will not resolve itself.

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
You seem to have acquired fungal infection of the skin.
I would advise you to apply creams containing Sertaconazole or Clotrimazole on the affected area two times a day. However, a doctor consultation is highly recommended.
Regards.
