Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ginger. No, antibacterial ointment will treat bacterial infections. Ringworm is actually caused by a fungal infection. Ginger will need to see her veterinarian to confirm that ringworm is her problem. If so, it is typically treated with a topical prescription antifungal as well as lime sulfur dip. This is a disease that can be spread to other pets and people so it is important to accurately diagnose and treat it. I hope this information helps!
