Brief Answer:
Insect Bite.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
I have seen the photograph of your lesion. It seems to be insect bite.
I advise following in such situations:
1. To apply a combination cream containing antibiotic fusidic acid and steroid beclamethasone commonly available in the market with name Futop-B. Apply this over the affected area twice daily.

2. To take Anti Allergic like Levocetrizine 5 mg once a day if you have itching over the area.
Continue this for 7 days and then revert back after 7 days to me with photograph of the affected area.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

It is available at all leading medical stores. I can't comment surely about your country buy it should be available OTC.
But you need to show me your lesion after 7 days as further treatment decision would be based on that.
