Does Yellow Mark On Face With Reddish Ring Around It Suggest Ringworm?

Do not know if my daughter has ringworm. She is three years old and has a mark on her face that concerns me. We went to a petting zoo last monday and I am worried she may have come down with something. It does not itch her as of yet and is the size of an eraser head with a pretty clear reddish ring around a flesh/yellow colored skin center with a small raised area. I can upload a picture .

Hi,
From history it seems to be a fungal infection.
Apply anti-fungal cream for few days and she will be alright.
Ok and take care.
