Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have seen carefully the picture and I think that this ring shaped skin element looks like a tinea corporis(ringworm), a skin infection from fungus.
I suggest to meet a doctor in order to define better the diagnosis and to scrap from the affected area under a microscope to look for fungus as well to perform a culture test to see if the fungus grows.
According the mycogram should start a treatment with local antifungal cream.
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
