Hi,
If this is confirmed ringworm (as seen by a dermatologist), you would need antifungal for prolong time like up to 2 months. We recommend terbinafine oral tablets for so extensive lesion. But this should only be done by a dermatologist.
There is no harm in eating meat, eggs, fish or chicken. You just need to avoid excessive sweat and try to keep it dry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
