Not demodex -- pretty sure. Could be fungal.
Remember -- ringworm is NOT a parasite. It's not "worms". It's fungus --
In humans ringworm looks like a series of red rings that overlay each other. In dogs you don't see the 'ring' -- but you can see sort of a ring over ring pattern.
Think of the Olympic "rings" symbol except take the 'rings' out and leave the outer pattern -- looks like a ragged arc?? It doesn't look like connected 'rings' without the rings. THAT is how ringworm tends to look on a dog. The skin isn't discolored usually at all -- just "naked" where the hair has fallen off/broken off
