Hello,
Without examining the lesions in person it won't be appropriate to come to a conclusion.
I would suggest you visit a dermatologist regarding the same. It can be due to some allergy most probably if not due to trauma.
Still, to know the exact reason, some skin tests might be necessary to get done. So without delay see a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
