This could be what is called ringworm. It is the same fungus that causes athletes foot and jock itch, and cats can be carriers. You can get over the counter anti-fungal cream to treat it.

Any antifungal cream. Most likely you will find this in the athletes foot section of your drug store. Lamisil is one.
