My dog has recurring round spots on belly/legs. Is it ringworm?

My dog has several round lesions of his belly and legs. I think he might have ringworm. I have been spraying the areas with 1% ketoconazole and they seem to clear up but come back in different spots.

Hi and thanks for your request. It is likely that your suspicion is correct but the treatment may not be powerful enough to resolve the problem. Oral treatment may be needed so I would recommend a check up as your vet can confirm ringworm and treat appropriately.
