What Does A Red Rash On The Leg Indicate?

I have had this solid red circle, the size of a quarter, on my leg for over two months. It is flat, not particularly raised. It doesn t itch. It does not weep. I have had other marks like this in the past but they seem to dry up and disappear. This one remains and worries me.

this circular rash could be a ringworm infection which gives this typical picture.
keep your skin healthy by daily moisturizing it.
use an ointment like cosvate GM to cure the rash
also have vitamin tablets to make the skin and body healthy
take in some natural sunshine for vitamin D
