I actually have some topical here at home so would it be safe to put it on the area even if it isnt ring worm ?

Don't apply the topical stuff because it can throw off test results.Your vet will probably look at the affected area with a black light and will also take samples of the hair to do a special test that will confirm it.Ringworm typically appears as a reddish ring or an irritation on the skin.There are many differences in the human kind versus the animal kind though, so don't get freaked out yet.

Take him to the Vet he can tell you for sure. If it is ring worm try an anti-fungus ointment. It takes a while. Generic is cheapest. Like the others said it is contagious and itches. You or the dog can get it from places where mushroom like to grow and dogs like to lay. That's only one example. Good Luck.

Don't DIY and treat the dog. May be a hot spot and not ringworm. The vet will scan the area with a special light to determine if it is ringworm and then go from there to recommend treatment.
Vet visit is your best bet.

Fast Ringworm Cure?

Take the dog to the vet, and the vet will identify it for sure. Ringworm isn't a big deal; the vet will probably prescribe some topical medication.

Does My Dog Have Ringworm

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/RIr7O
Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.
Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.
Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.

Only the vet can tell for sure. It might be a rash and it might be an allergic reaction. Don't apply anything to it until you know for sure.

There is no way of knowing for sure without a vet doing a culture/skin scraping.

if it is, you'll get it soon. It is highly contagious
