shampoo with selenium sulfide (2.5%) or zinc pyrithione (1-2%) used 2-3 times weekly at home can help decrease shedding of spores and should be used together with the oral medications. Shampoos containing selenium sulfide include Head & Shoulders Intensive Treatment, Selsun, Selsun Blue, and Selsun Gold for Women.
(I know you want 'at' home treatments due to cost but honestly ---Scalp ringworm must be treated systemically (with medicine that spreads throughout the body) to penetrate the hair follicle.)

If it is that stubborn no home remedy is going to help. You can try an anti-fungal cream.
baby doll,
Ringworm is not a worm. It is a general term for a common fungus infection of the skin. It is called ringworm because the infection often appears as a round shape or ring. The general medical name for these infections is 'tinea', though the full name depends on the location of the infection on the body. For example, ringworm on the head, usually the scalp, is tinea capitis.
Raw papaya is one of the most effective home remedies for ringworm. The slices of this fruit should be rubbed on the ringworm patches. A paste made from dried papaya seeds can also be applied beneficially on these ringworm patches. Another effective home remedy for ringworm is mustard seeds. A paste should be prepared from these seeds and applied externally over the ringworm patches after thoroughly washing the skin with sufficient hot water. Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot juice in combination with spinach juice, have proved beneficial in the treatment of ringworm. The formula proportions considered helpful in this combination are 300 ml of carrot juice and 200 ml of spinach juice to make 500 ml or half a litre of juice.
