I would recommend that Bruno get checked out by a vet. It is hard to see the problem you are concerned about from the picture. Ringworm or other fungal infections can often be treated with topical and/or oral medications or lime sulfur dips or shampoos. A vet can examine Bruno to see if this is the cause of his skin issues and recommend an appropriate treatment. Other possible causes of skin problems that can look like fungal infection include fleas, allergies, mites, bacterial infection, among a few others.
