Brief Answer:
Seem like local macule or growth, and will resolve spontaneously
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Thanks for such a quick feedback.
By the looks of it, it can be local outgrowth and will resolve spontaneously at its own. Doesn't seem to be infective and if no warning signs like lymph nodes in neck or axilla is found swollen and no fever or weight loss present, it can be monitored for another month to see pattern of spread or resolution. If it doesn't resolve a skin fine needle biopsy may be needed to look for exact origin.
