You can use some special cream (for guinea pigs), it will be available in Pets at Home and other pet stores. Other than that, do weekly or daily inspections of your guinea pig to see if anythings wrong/showing symptoms, keep the cage and your guinea pig/s clean by brushing them or bathing them (but only bathe them around every 2 months unless they are really dirty / if a vet told you to) , and also, keep your hands clean because you would maybe get ringworm from your pet ONLY if your pet has ringworm (otherwise, don't worry about it but still wash your hands after playing with them).
