Skin lesion: See your doctor now!! The patch described may be just a simple mole but it probably needs a biopsy to be sure. The warmth and itching of your breast could be related to infection, allergy or something far more concerning. Do not delay a full evaluation.

Ring worm? : This may be ringworm which is a funny name for a very common fungal infection. There is no worm involved. Try over-the-counter Clotrimazole ointment. If it's helping continue to use it at least two weeks after you don't see any rash as the fungus lives below the skin. If it doesn't get better, as the previous physician suggested, go see a doctor for a biopsy
