Self treatment of generalised ringworm is not possible for some owners. Black pigmented spots on skin could be due to cream treatment for a long time.  Scales and itchy body. The daughter asked the mum to bring the dog to the vet.  Ringworm generally presents as rings but in this case, the rings would have merged as the disease had persisted for several months. So, only scales and crusty inflamed skin is seen.  Ultraviolet light glows the whole body including the scales. Video cannot show the glow clearly. 

No demodectic mites are seen from skin scraping. 

Main diagnosis is generalised ringworm.
