Has this 'ringworm' on my leg been misdiagnosed?

I've had this spot appear out of nowhere on my leg 9 days ago and it is now approximately 11mm, so growing fairly fast. Since day 2, I have treated it as 'ringworm' but it hasn't gone away and has kept increasing in size throughout the treatment.

I went to the doctor today and she thought it was ringworm, but I am paranoid it's something else since the treatment hasn't worked. It's not itchy or sore.

Any ideas what else it could be?
