Dermatitis: Sounds like dermatitis. You may have an allergy to one of the metals in your ring (often it's to nickel, which is in many metals used for inexpensive jewellery). Or it could be irritation from water sitting under the ring after washing hands. Remove your ring until the spots heal. You can use mild hydrocortisone cream 2x/day for up to 2 weeks. Dry the skin completely after washing your hands.
