Poor Cheese! The area does look irritated, however with ringworm it usually involves hairloss as it spread outward. Other causes of redness like this could include irritation from an allergy rubbing against something or eating it, or the beginning of an infection. I would have the spot checked out by Cheese's vet to rule out ringworm and infection anyway if it doesn't resolve, stays red, or begins to have hairloss.
