My cat has a dry, red, hairless spot on his ear. Could it be ringworm?

Question

Azur have on the tip of his right ear a dry, red, hairless spot. Doesn't cause pain, isn't warm or swell. Any idea of the diagnosis and treatment? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 30 days old

It is very likely that this is ringworm. Azur needs topical antifungal medication (i.e. Miconazole) to treat this if it is confirmed to be a ringworm infection via a blacklight or fungal culture from your vet.
