raised red ring on my leg

I have a raised red ring on my calf. It's gotten larger in the last day. Insect bite? Ring worm? Fungus?

Hello,
It can be due to nummular dermatitis or granuloma annulare. Granuloma annulare is a chronic disease consisting of a rash with reddish bumps arranged in a circle or ring. Since it has been present for quite some time, I suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
