It could be ringworms. I had a dog to get spots once that looked like hotspots and it turned out to be ringworm. My vet told me to use lamisil for them and they cleared up pretty quick but it took 4-6 weeks for the hair to grow back.

Are the spots raised? Kinda like a tick or pimple?

I see that you are in FLA, and in most places ringworm isnt too prevalent in winter, but given that I would also say ringworm.
looks like a round missing patch of hair, sometimes a little raw in the middle.

Also, if it IS (or even could be ) ring worm be sure to wash your hands after handling the dog, and if you have kids make sure they do the same as it can be passed to people. I got it off a horse one time. Itches like the devil lol

yes spots are raised.if you scratch the scab off it is missing hair and raw in the middle.can you get rid of ringworms with ivomec or zemectrin gold.
mjflores, construction is slow(little money coming in) and a biopsy is my last resort.thanks anyway

Ringworms are not actual WORMS, it is a bactieral infection.

WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IS RINGWORM!!!!

All you need to do is go to the store and get any product that is for athletes foot, preferably the lotion type. It will kill it in no time but as another poster said will take some time for the hair to grow back. The more times per day you put the lotion on , the quicker it will go clear up. I know this from owning dogs and horses here in the south.

I once got it from a horse, the 17 H horse i went to pick his feet after he had been in an unmowed pasture (im only 5'2) when i leaned on him to make him pick his foot up (during summer and i was wearing no sleaves) I contracted ringworm on that shoulder.

OH AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE WALMART BRAND ATHLETES FOOT PRODUCTS DO WORK, AND ARE CHEAP.
