I have a circular rash on my foot that was once red but is now more brown. it does not itch and has not spread or gotten bigger. could it be ringworm?

Probably not: 'ringworm' as a dermatophytic skin infection usually itches. Nummular eczema sometimes masquerades as 'ringworm' but also itches. Probably a good idea to let your doctor take a look at this. Can't really tell from your description.
