Well, unfortunately, it isn't possible for anyone to give you a proper diagnosis from just the limited information in a post on the internet.

I'd suggest trying a completely different doctor to get another opinion, preferably a pediatrician.

Ringworm is actually a fungal infection and you can see a picture of what it looks like here to see if it matches what was on her:

Has she shown any improvement?
