My dog has a skin spot that disappears and reappears. Is it ringworm?

Question

Wondering if my dog has ringworm? This is the only spot this seems to appear on, and it comes and goes. It'll clear in about 3 days and come back weeks later. Sometimes it starts off really small and then gets bigger. Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Male | unneutered | 9 months and 3 days old | 15 lbs

It could be ringworm but it could also be some other fungal or bacterial infection, you need to take him to the vet in order to have it checked and diagnose, if it is ringworm he will need an anti fungal treatment for 3 weeks.
