Could be ringworm...: Not all ringworm itches. It is still certainly possible such a rash is ringworm if pictures on the web match it. Eczema and ringworm and psoriasis to a lesser extent can all look very similar and can fool even experienced doctors. It would be worth seeing a doctor to determine the plan of care. What is good for eczema can make ringworm worse and eczema does not respond well to ringworm meds.

Ring Worm: Ringworm is a common fungal skin infection otherwise known as tinea. Ringworm most commonly affects the skin on the body (tinea corporis), the scalp (tinea capitis), the feet (tinea pedis, or athlete's foot), or the groin (tinea cruris, or jock itch). http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-ringworm
