I've never had ringworm before and now it's in the groin area. It's really worrying me. What are the best creams and tablets to treat this? I'm not sure where to start and would love some guidance.

I'm really worried because I accidentally spilled boiling milk on my right palm and fingers. Ive been in so much pain despite keeping it in cold water for 30 minutes. I even used some silverex silver nitrate gel, but the burning just isn't going away. There aren't any blisters or peeling skin, but it seems to be swollen. Can you help me figure out what to do next?
