Poblems: The rashes you describe sounds like two different types of rashes. The circular rash sounds most like ring worm which is caused by a fungus. The rash on your hairline could be two possible issues. It could be a fungal infection too- hair loss in the area? Another possibility would be a folliculitis which would be a bactrial infection. The hair line infection is likely causing the headache.
