Brief Answer:
Possibility of fixed drug eruption

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through your query and reviewed the image.

It is a well defined patch of pigmentation. It could be a fixed drug eruption. I suggest you to put a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either Mometasone furoate cream or Triamcinolone acetonide cream, twice daily for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
