It’s about a week or two there

Itches a bit when I touch it. It doesn’t burn

I did not take any medications

And it is a single patch

Brief Answer:
Discoid eczema, topical steroid, antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
It seems to be a patch of discoid eczema.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 2 weeks.
This will help in resolving your problem.
