Brief Answer:
Eczematous lesion skin

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through the photo attached by you in your medical history.
You seem to have developed a lesion of discoid eczema.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected area twice daily.
Avoid rubbing or scratching the lesion.
Medicine has to be continuously applied for atleast ten days for complete healing.

See a dermatologist if it still tends to persist after treatment.
