Hi, I would not say this looks like a typical ringworm lesion. The areas are normally hairless round areas but can also become more inflamed and crusty depending on the dermatophyte causing the problem. The active infection can only be confirmed through culture so I would recommend to seek vet attention to put your mind at rest. Hope this helps, thank you for using PetCoach !
