The vet should prescribe medication, usually intrafungol which is oral or I have been given dog ear drops which you add direct to the affected area. You will also need some strong disinfectant like F10, we have a ringworm guide let me go grab a link for you

Please do not try to get rid of ringworm with some home DIY, especially not if it keeps coming back!
The most effective treatment is oral itrafungol (active ingredient itraconazole), which is prescription only, but it get to all affected areas that creams and shampoos close to sensitive areas like eyes, ears or mouth struggle to reach properly and that can affect these organs badly.

Please also be aware that ringworm spores can stay live for up to 18 months; they are shed in their thousands during an outbreak. A normal disinfectant is only effective against bacteria, but not fungal, and very few disinfectants can actually kill ringworm spores. It is wrong economics to skimp on a good disifectant or treatment. Please read all the tips in our ringworm guide - they have been learned the hard way over the years; that is why they really work!

Please also save up every week towards a vet fund, so you can afford it whenever needed; illness and emergencies never happen at a convenient time. Access to professional medical care is one of the basic animal rights. Here in the UK it is enshrined in law.
