Brief Answer:
You need proper care and treatment for the abrassion looking skin lesion.

Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you to my virtual clinic HCM!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Abrasion looking lesions are now actually healing at this moment as obvious in your picture.

Probable Causes:-
Bug bite.
Contact dermatitis.

As you can easily see the red margins, there is inflammation too. You need to apply Hydrocortisone ointment and Triple antibiotic ointment on the lesions and that's all needed for now topically. You will be better in a couple of days.

Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up after sometime regarding the treatment efficacy and to see any need to change the treatment options is very necessary. Keep a follow up some days after this visit session ends.

Regards!
