Brief Answer:
be vigilant

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.

Since there are no problem no need to worry for now, but be vigilant on this. If you develop any ulcer/ swelling/ pain or tenderness/ sudden increase in size of lesion and even lymphnode then this needs further evaluation. Since at your age group the chance of any serious problem is very less.

It will be better if you can upload a good quality photo of the lesion for more discussion.

For now keep the area dry and clean. You can apply calamine lotion and be vigilant on the lesion.

Hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.

Regards
