Q: Burning Off Ringworm !

Okay, so.
So, a friend of mine got ringworm but he didn't know what it was... So, he decided to burn that part of his skin off. Before he burnt it off, he poked at it with a needle, and didn't feel it very much. Now, after he burnt it, he poked at it more and now it's pretty much completely numb. What should he do, and is there anything serious to be worried about?

Is he sure it was ringworm? Was it diagnosed?
