Ringworm treated, appeared again

Question

Asked for Female, 25 Years

I had been treated for ringworm on my cheek a month ago. A 5 day oral medicine and an ointment for at least 2 weeks was prescribed. But it has appeared again. Should i repeat the medicine or is there any better treatment to prevent recurring ringworm? Please help.
