Ringworm

So I am pregnant and just saw today that I have ringworm. Will this affect my pregnancy? And if I use an anti-fungal ointment to treat the ringworm will it affect anything? Its in its beginning stages so its not bad at all right now.

I'd call my obgyn and tell him/her, mine prescribed me medicine for it. I had ringworm when I was like 3mths pregnant
