Hi,
Dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. However, if it is localized, while it can still be an autoimmune disease, a reaction to something that was on the skin or even a bug bite or a localized infection becomes more likely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
