Rub lotion on it and keep it moist. You really should see a dr. if it doesn't clear up

It sounds like something fungal. The more you itch and break the skin the more it has the opportunity to spread. It wouldn't hurt to try an OTC anti-fungal cream.

i'd agree that it sounds like a fungal infection. ringworm likes areas where the skin touches other skin, like around the breasts and it doesn't always have the characteristic ring shape...
i's try some otc antifungal cream, sometimes they give you little samples in otc yeast infection kits.

It can be eczema.
