Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Skin lesions like the one you have do need a direct examination for proper diagnosis. It is difficult to comment on the type of lesion without the benefit of actually seeing the lesion. Please consult a dermatologist in person for the diagnosis and further treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
