Skin rash

What could cause a circle rash on your leg? It reminds you of like a bug bite mixed with ringworm also when I touch it becomes itchy.

The circular rash speaks of the "bullseye ring" that sometimes appears after a tick bite and should be looked at by a healthcare professional and could possibly be lyme disease. As stated by the other docs below, it could be ringworm (which is actually a fungus, not a worm) or some other insect bite. Depending on where you live and how sure you are it was caused by an insect bite, I would seek medical attention like your family doctor or an urgent care facility.
Most likely ringworm as you suggested. Might try some antifungal cream that you can buy at any pharmacy. If that doesn't help, then I would talk to your doctor.

Best of luck!
This a a very good question. There is erythema nod sum associated with, but not limited to auto immune disease, like Sarcoidosis, or infection like lime disease. We have. To take thr picture as a whole. Son labs needed and more Hx .

Your description suggests more of bug bite with possible Lyme diseases, considering that this is Lyme season. Let a doctor take a close look at your bull eye skin lesion and get more detailed history of where you have been camping recently and confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease. If it is ring worm or something else, the doctor will be better able to say so.
It is a skin infection . You need skin cream from a skin expert or a DERMATOLOGIST .
