Hi whyspots. From what I understand, ringworm is usually very itchy.

Please look at Lyme disease rashes. Although only about 50% of people who have Lyme disease ever get a rash, a bulls-eye rash is a definite sign of Lyme disease. Lyme is a multi-system bacterial infection caused from the bite of an infected tick. Many people are bitten by ticks without knowing it. They are tiny and inject a numbing agent so you cannot feel them on you.

It is always good to get photos of any rashes. Place something near them, like a coin or ruler, before photographing to give it size definition. Then you have evidence of them if needed later.
