Two things come to mind. The first is ringworm. That can ben a mess to treat and can be passed from ferret to ferret and to humans.
The second is Lyme disease (do ferrets get Lyme?). If there is a red spot in the middle, a white circle, and then a red circle, like a target, that's what Lyme looks like. My doctor thought I had it a number of years ago (I didn't). My husband has recently been treated for Lyme, so I'm familiar with its presentation.
