Brief Answer:
morphea of skin, start treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have seen the attached picture.
You seem to be developing a lesion of morphea.
Now this is basically a skin disease in which there is development of areas of skin depression and tightening.
Although the lesion is not increasing at present, but it is important to take treatment so as to prevent its further progress.
So I would advise you to see a dermatologist and take necessary treatment .
