Hi,
Recurrence is very common in ringworm infection.
It could be due to chronic infection or reinfection.
I would recommend you to start the medicines again under the supervision of the dermatologist.
The medicines have to be continued for at least 3-4 months to avoid recurrence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
