Hello,
As a first-line management, you can apply silverex ointment for symptomatic relief.
Generally, the lesion will heal by itself without any complications. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
