So does anyone else think this looks like ringworm?

It could be but the ringworm I typically recognize isn’t so red in the middle. It’s usually more skin colored so the red pattern looks just like a ring. I’d recommend dabbing it with some diluted betadine. Mix the betadine with a little warm water so it looks like weak tea. Dab it on the mark with a cotton ball. There’s no need to rinse it. Betadine works on bacterial and fungal infections. After a couple days of treating it let us know how it looks in case we need to go a different route with treatment.
