I think its definetely round worm. I will treat them all again. See how Sams skin is after a week, take him to the vets if it hasn't healed.

I remember how horrified I was when I first saw it on our female, but within a day it was dry and fading and within a fortnight the fur was almost fully back.
roundworms live in the guts,intestines and cause damage internally,not externally.you will need to clean and treat the sore area to prevent infection which could lead to blood poisoning.Ring worm is bacterial,not parasitic(no live critters)
