Red rings around an injection wound are indicative of an insect bite, from an insect that can inject toxin. Most often this is a spider, and the target shape likely means the toxin is hemolytic, i.e. it destroys blood cells.
If you have reason to think the bite is new (less than a day), you can hotpack it, using wet compresses not more than 110F (less might be better) for about 20 minutes. If the animal seems to be in pain -- stop. Perform this procedure once. Rinse with wound with a gentle detergent and then rinse with water.
Observe the wound over the next two weeks or so. If it doesn't seem to be healing or becomes an open lesion, head for the vet forthwith. If it acts like a mosquito bite and heals promptly, you're probably fine.
