Hi,
It can be a superficial bacterial infection.
As the first line of management, you can apply topical antifungal like Mupirocin for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
