Hi, I hope I can reduce your fears with some information. Ring worm can be spread from cats to humans.  It does cause an irregular reddish or pinkish ring which can change shape a bit over time a bit always looks like a ring. It is not more dangerous to have ring worm around the navel. An antifungal cream will help.  Use it for at least 2 weeks.  Fungi can be tenacious and take a while to go away. Try to expose the area to light and air and keep it Chat Doctor.  About poison ivy
