Brief Answer:
Looks like an Abrasion
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for writing to us,
I am Dr.Kakkar (Dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and I have reviewed the image.
It seems like an "Abrasion" due to inadvertent trauma/ scratching against something.
I'd suggest you use a topical antibiotic cream e.g 2% Mupirocin (Bactroban cream), twice daily for 5-7 days. This should be enough.
Regards
