no...a ringworm can be anywhere. not just chest area. its a contagious skin disease...usually caused by playing in sewer water or somethin dirty...
 
There is no fast way to get rid of it. If the topical creme does not work then the next step is oral medicine that is some nasty stuff. One of my mother in laws cats had it and we got it when we visited her. It took us 2 months to rid ourselves and our pets of it and it was a major pain in the a$$.
 
Ringworm is a common skin disorder, especially among children, but may occur in people of all ages. It is caused by mold-like fungi (dermatophytes).

Ringworm usually responds to self-care. Keep the skin clean and dry. Over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders, lotions, or creams are applied to the affected skin. Those that contain miconazole, clotrimazole, or similar ingredients are often effective in controlling ringworm.
Severe or persistent infection may require further treatment by the health care provider. Oral antifungal medications may be given. Stronger, prescription topical antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole or sulconazole may be needed. In some cases, topical corticosteroids (see corticosteroids - topical - low potency and corticosteroids - topical - medium to very high potency) may be added to the topical antifungals. Antibiotics may be needed to treat secondary bacterial infections.

Ringworm usually responds to topical treatment within 4 weeks. Severe or resistant cases usually respond promptly to oral antifungal therapy.

 
Like someone said earlier........Get Hydrocortisone cream. Make sure you get the prescription ones, and not the over-the-counter 1% ones.

 
Hydrocortisone cream by itself will NOT cure ringworm.. ..you're dealing with a fungus and will need an anti-fungal cream. The cortisone creams will decrease the itching, redness, swelling, etc., but will NOT cure the ringworm; only an antifungal will get rid of it.
 
Just get some anti-fungal cream and keep the area dry. If it gets wet, it's easier to spread that's why wrestlers spread it easily. If you are involved in any sports, get some kenshield and spray that stuff over the area. Whatever happens, keep that area dry and patched up, you don't want that stuff getting on your bed or clothes.
