My Mini Bull Terrier puppy has bald spots. Why aren't creams working?

Question

Hi I’ve taken my dog to the vet multiple times and they keep saying it’s an ant bite but I don’t feel it is, id really like another opinion on this bald spot since he’s getting one on his face too and the creams they have gave me don’t work :( he’s a mini bull terrier. Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Bull Terrier | Male | neutered | 7 months and 8 days old | 35 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kentucky. Has he had skin scrapes to look for a mite known as Demodex? This is my concern given his age and breed. It is a mite that lives in the hair follicles normally, but puppies can experience an overgrowth. I hope this information helps!
