this could be a ringworm ( tinea ) or a wheal of urticaria .
Rash of ring worm have annular border and that of wheal have circular border
White semiadherent scales are present in the case of tinea which are absent in wheal
Rash of tinea persists for long time from weeks to months while that of wheals disapears after 30 minutes to 12 hours with or without treatmemt
Rash of tinea itches mostly at night
