I have the same thing right now. I live in Florida and the mosquitoes bite you and if you scratch it it turns into something that resembles a ring worm. I went to the er and they refuse to listen when i told them a mosquito bite me. So now i will be going to my own doctor. I advise don't scratch it because it will change and spread. See a really good doctor who will understand this is not a ring worm but an insect bite and treat it accordingly

Ringworm is a skin infection caused by a fungus that can affect the scalp, skin, fingers, toe nails or foot. Affecting the smooth skin and scalp, these fungal infections are often accompanied by profound itching and redness of the affected skin. This fungus produces circular ring lesions up to six inches in diameter on the skin and can cause loss of hair in patches of the scalp.

Anyone can get ringworm. Children may be more susceptible to certain varieties while adults may be more affected with other varieties.
How are ringworm infections spread?

Although the name suggests a parasitic type of worm as the culprit, it is actually caused by two common, and harmless, fungi called Trichophyton and Microsporum.

Ringworm is a fungus. However it has never been proven that you can't get AIDS from a mosquito.

Ringworm is transmitted through dirt or sand. It will not reach maturity in any other matter. Once it has reached larvae status it can enter your body through any area that is exposed to the infected matter and go wherever it wants to in your body. Yuck!
