Answer
Hi Julie,
If it is shaped like a ring, and from what you describe, it does sound like ring worm. This is very contagious and you can catch it too so be very careful.  Take him to a Vet so that meds can be prescribed. It's pretty easy to get rid of, but will spread so you need to get it taken care of right away.

God Bless,
Becky
