Brief Answer: looks like a bite or bruise from scratching. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic. I went through the pictures you sent along with this query. The skin lesion looks like an insect bite or mild bruise resulted from scratching or some injury. If there is itching, you can apply a skin soothing lotion like calamine externally over rash thrice daily. Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know. Regards.
