I'm sure there are a number of possibilities, but the two that immediately spring to mind are ringworm and impetigo.

For your sake I seriously hope it's not impetigo, as it is a highly contagious and truly disgusting disease. Despite the name, ringworm is not a parasitic worm, but a fungal infection.
