Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

I have seen the image of the skin lesion.
It appears to be some fungal infection.
The site is common for cutaneous larva migrans but the lesion is not characteristic.
I suggest you to apply combination of steroid like betamethasone/mometasone with antifungal like miconazole three times a day for 4-5 days.

Please let me know if you have any more query.
Wishing for your child's speedy recovery.
Regards
