Red, itchy, ring-like rashes are most often due to a fungal infection, where the rash spreads in a circular pattern because of fungal growth on the skin. This usually happens with sweat, moisture, or sharing clothes or towels. Keep the area clean and dry, wear loose cotton clothes, and avoid scratching or using random creams. A doctor may advise an antifungal treatment to clear it properly, so talk to your doctor if it is spreading or not improving.
