Piggie has ear fungus- vet didn't cure.

I bought him at PetCo a while ago. About two weeks ago. We gave him back to them to take to the vet because he was still under warranty, for an eye infection, but I just got him back on tuesday, and I've been watching his ear. He still has it. I don't want to take him back and have them hold him for another week cause he seems stressed out and he's acting scared. I'm angry that they didn't cure it, and was wondering if there's any home remedies I could try, or medicines I could buy for him.
I reMember putting vinegar on my cat's back when he got some sort of fungus, and that seemed to cure it. Should I try that?
For now I'm scrubbing the dead skin off and washing it with small animal shampoo I bought for him. I dry his ears well.
Taking him back to Petco so they can treat him is out of the question, and money is kind of an issue, but I don't mind taking him to the vet as a last resort. I just don't trust the store.
My mom wants me to try all other alternatives before I take him to the vet.
I have pictures if that will help diagnose him.

i dont think putting neat vinegar onto your piggy would be a good idea. heres a link to another website with some info on fungal infections.

People keep giving me that site, and if he had ringworm I think I would have caught it by now. I've had ringworm before. And I don't think its contagious because I let him in with my other pig after I brought him back from petco and Charlie (the infected one is Sam) is doing just fine.
