Brief Answer:
Please tell us a bit more!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed your image. But I need a bit more information to narrow down the list of possible causes.

I'd like to know for how long this has been?

Is it itchy?

Any recent history of hiking?

Also, where do you live? Is Lyme disease common where you live?

Any other spots on your body?
Have you ever had anything similar in the past?

Please let me know these details from you to be able to help you specifically with this.

Awaiting...

Regards
