Brief Answer: Details below Detailed Answer: Dear Ma'am, Thanks for writing to us. A small pink circular lesion over arm could be eczema, fungal infection or due to insect bite etc. I would appreciate if you could upload an image of the concerned lesion as without visualising the lesion, it would be difficult for me to think of most probable cause for the same. Hoping to hear from you soon. Take care
