Hi,
It may be insect bite dermatitis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take antihistaminics and oral steroid in tapering dose along with a short course of antibiotic. Apply antibiotic cream like mupirocin cream on the lesion. Avoid soap bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
