How often should a Pug be dewormed externally?
External deworming for a Pug can be monthly, adjusted to how clean its environment is. Even if it stays home, parasites are possible, so deworm regularly.
Even after baths and deworming it still scratches often; this has lasted 3 months. I am not sure if it is ringworm; only the chin is a bit red, actually redder and a bit swollen than shown, nothing else.
From the description and photo, no ringworm is seen. Itch has many causes: skin infection, parasite allergy, dry skin, environmental or food allergy. A red, swollen chin is usually black chin (bacterial folliculitis) from oily food or poor cleaning. Use a cone and see a vet for skin checks.
