Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
This may be a nummular dermatitis.
Please attach a pic of your lesion with your query.
You may do so by using the upload your reports feature on the left hand side of the query page.
Having a direct look at the lesion is very important for the assessment of your problem.
In the mean time, you may apply cortisone cream twice daily over the spot.
Awaiting your response
