Kerry,
I think cats can get ring worm too, or it could be
contact dermatitis (skin allery). You can try
switching him to almost any commercial food that says
"low allergen". My cat eats the low allergen Natural
Balance (I buy it at PetCo). But if he's still eating
normally, I'd just do what you plan and keep an eye on
him until the vet comes.
It's probably something easily fixed, although I think
ring worm can transfer to humans so you may want to be
careful about hand washing after you touch him. If it
is that, you could see it on his skin if he was shaved
there. I wouldn't stress him out or worry too much
and see what the vet says. You can always switch his
food next week if she suggests it.
