That is either eczema, psoriasis or impetigo. They look really similar in pics, so it would be hard for me to say exactly which it is just by looking at those pics. However, all three are characterized by red, itchy skin patches, and all three can be relieved with some over-the-counter 1% hydrocortizone cream. I think the brand name is Cortaid, but even the generic stuff will do. Just wash the affected area gently with some mild soap and warm water, then pat dry and apply a thin layer of the cream, then cover it loosely with a Band-Aid or a gauze bandage. Do this about 3-4 times a day, and it should be gone within a few days. No big deal! If it does turn out to be eczema, it may come back every once in a while, but as long as it doesn't spread to other parts of your body, just treat it the same way.

No.Ring worm is usually in a round pattern but if your concerned that's what you have get an anti fungal cream and apply.
