My pet has ringworm but still licks obsessively. Is it food allergy?

Question

I've taken Baby to the vet & the vet gave her an injection for her ringworm problem. I had gave her a bath, organic powder to prevent fleas problems, gave her medication to eat, but she still obsessively licking her fur & the ringworm seems like keep attacking her :( Is ringworm is actually the problem or something else like food allergy? Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 2.53 lbs

Ringworm is a fungal infection that is highly contagious and can spread if it keeps getting messed with. It is also usually treated with topical medications and shampoos. It would be best to talk with your vet about getting a prescription shampoo to treat the ringworm with, and to place an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Baby to keep her from pawing at the spot and irritating it more. Be sure to also thoroughly wash hands and clothing after handling her, and keep her separated from other pets until healed.
