Brief Answer:
Seems like fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the pictures.
The lesion looks like a fungal infection. However a possibility of eczema also be considered.
As of now you can apply over the counter available antifungal-steroid combination like clotrimazole-betamethasone once daily for eight to ten days.
If there is flare up of lesion or signs of infection, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Thanks
