I have a small cluster of bumps on my thigh. They are in a perfect circle. The spot is red and is very itchy. Could this be a spider bite or something? It is slightly raised and has gotten a little bit bigger since I first noticed it a few days ago.

I have rashes that keep occurring on my inner thighs. They first start as a small spot and then start to spread into a bumpy/scaly ring with a black dot in the center. The rash is extremely itchy. Any idea what this could be?
