Take her to the doctor. It's ringworm - a fungal infection that is HIGHLY contagious. Get it treated NOW before you all catch it.

Does she wear snap up jammies? Is there a metal fastener against her skin at that spot? If it isn't ringworm, it is a reaction to metal against her skin. Avoid that type of clothing.

Yeah it sounds exactly like ring worm. It could be from her playing in dirt or if you have an animal.

I would try some anti-fungal cream like you would use for athlete's foot - it's the same family of fungus. Use it until the inflammation and itching is gone. If you don't see improvement in a few days, take her to the doc
