No your ring worm and the yeast are not related. A yeast is a different class of organisms than fungi. Although the yeasts do produce psuedohyphae they don't have true hyphae which fungi are composed of. Dermatophytes (the type of fungi that cause ringworm) cannot grow on mucous membranes and not in the vagina. So, it is a coincidence but the treatment is similar.
