Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic,
I have seen the picture and answer your question.
It seems to be a fungal infection but the image is not so clear.
You can apply anti fungal cream (canesten cream) over the affected area with oral anti-fungal drug (fluconazole 150mg) and antihistamines like cetrizine 10 mg.
The lesion would start subsiding after 3 to 4 applications.Your local doctor or GP will know about this and can prescribe the above treatment.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
