Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Toffee! Not all ringworm fluoresces under a blue light. It could be a skin infection from allergies or a non-contagious called demodex. From the pictures the areas look moist like she has been licking. If you can keep her off the areas then you can see if they start to heal. Otherwise I recommend that you take her to the Vet. They probably will shave the areas, give her antibiotics and something to stop the licking. Good luck!
