    I dont think its cancer or ringworm. Do you have shoes/boots/ or even socks which rub on that spot? If so it could just be a skin reaction to the small trauma of rubbing.

    Alternatively it could be a small patch of eczema. Try using a moisturising cream on it before you go to bed.

    If it starts to itch, bleed or spread then you should see your doctor.
