Irregular ring like rash that does not itch

I have a roughly 1.5inch diameter oval-shaped ring (hollow with a light border) just under my left pectoral. It does not itch and it does not appear to be ringworm (no physical contact with anyone/animals). It is a very faint oval, it almost looks like someone bit me (I asked my wife if she bit me and she said no). Anyone?

Google Pityriasis Rosea, may be a possibility

I have no joint pain or severe fatigue. My only symptom is the oval ring rash on the side of my stomach.

Have you been outdoors in a woodsy area recently? One of the first symptoms of Lyme disease (which is transmitted through deer tick bites, so tiny you'd never notice them) is a ring-like rash. If you think that this may be a possibility, go to your doctor NOW and get tested for it. When caught in the early stages Lyme is completely treatable with antibiotics. If you let it go untreated, it can lead to permanent joint pain and fatigue, along with other unpleasant things.
