Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it could be either herald patch of pityriasis rosea which is a self limiting allergic reaction to a viral infection or any nonspecific annular erythema.
I would recommend you to consult a doctor and go for clinical examination.
