What Causes Circular Bruise On Body?

I have a circle bruise with the middle the same color as my normal skin color. I did not hit anything I know it s not a bug bite. It does not hurt at all, has no bump and just appeared a few weeks ago and is slowly getting better but I feel as if the circle could be getting bigger. What is this?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

You failed to mention the location of the ring like appearance, but I am guessing it is in a region which is usually damp or moist through the day? This is most probably a fungal infection (possibly ringworm), requiring the use of anti-fungal medication, try clotrimazole cream over the region 2 times a day for 10 days.

Best wishes.
