Hello,
There is a possibility that the red cycle you are having on your arm is possibly ringworm. Using antifungal creams such Lamisil is advisable
If possible upload a photo of the rash in reports to see and evaluate it. Also, it can be eczema or atopic dermatitis and in this case using corticosteroid cream such hydrocortisone is advisable.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
