Answers:

One of the signs of ringworm is a loss of pigmentation in the affected area. This probably was already occurring before you put the fungicidal cream on, so it is a result of the ringworm, not the cream.

Although there is no guarantee the normal skin color will return, typically it does after 6-12 months. Just use regular skin care and wear a hat or sunblock (it will get sunburned much more easily than the surrounding skin). It will NOT tan, since there are no pigmentation cells, so do NOT try to leave it out in the sun.
