Brief Answer:
Either drug reaction or friction dermatitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like either a drug reaction to the medicines you are taking or a friction dermatitis.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 5-7 days.
This should resolve the lesion.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
