sounds like ringworm
Ringworm - it's just a fungal infection, not a worm, don't panic!
Ringworm, or possibly leprosy. Only joking, it's ringworm.
Think its ringworm, kids had an outbreak at the local school and it looked just like your describing, simple matter of cream from the doctors
Sounds like ring worm. Have him ask a pharmacist if there is an over the counter anti-fungal cream he can put on it.
yea it sounds like a ringworm, he might want to get that checked out by the doctor.
omg its ringworm and ur probably gonna get it as well
Yes ringworm.Totally harmless and so easily treated.
could be ring worm... but those marks usually show up in more than one spot.

It could be eczema too

He should see a doctor about it
Yes, it sounds like ringworm. Don't panic, it's not as bad as it sounds, it's just a fungal infection. Some cream from his GP will soon clear it up.
maybe ring worm go see a doctor or the treatment area of your surgery
If you live in the countryside and there's any larger animals like deer about, it could be a deer tick bite and may be the first step towards limes / lymes disease. The bug bites, buries its head and so on. Lymes disease can be bad. look it up on the net.
sounds like ringworm, a fungal infection. and i think it's contagious, so go to your doctor soon to get a treatment cream for it.
