Noticed A Red Rash On The Ankle That Looks Like A Ring

My 4 year old son has had a rash on his ankle for a few months now. It doesn't bother him at all. It is red and raised and almost in the shape of a ring. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a rub mark from his sandals so I didn't think much of it. It seems to kind of come and go, never fully disappearing though.
