The: Rash could have many causes, from contact dermatitis (poison ivy) to ringworm. If the rash consists of oval/ circular areas that are scaly/ flakey in the middle and somewhat bumpy/ raised and a bit darker on the edges, it is likely ringworm. There are good treatments for both, but you should be seen to diagnose the condition.
