Brief Answer:
Some insect/ mosquito bite

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

I can see the erythema(redness).
I presume it blanches on applying pressure over it.

In that case it indicates some insect/mosquito bite. It is difficult to say whether it is specifically a mosquito bite.

You can take cetrizine for relief.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr. Barani.
