Skin Lesion On Back. No Itching. What Could It Be?
Hi, I suddenly (my husband saw it this morning and said it wasn t there the day before) developed a skin lesion on my back, oval, maybe larger than a quarter. It s slightly brownish in the center with a light pink ring around the outside. I have no other symptoms. It doesn t itch or anything but looks alarming. What could it be? ...we stayed the night in a hotel, I wore a second hand dress the evening before, and we were out for New Years in a large dance club with lots of people...so I am wondering if any of those factors may have caused it?

Welcome!
I would be pleased to answer your query .
Your description looks like an infection and inflammation secondary to a bite .
you should apply over the counter Neosporin and Cortaid cream on the area twice a day for 10 days .
Please do book an appointment with the Dermatologist to examine the area if it does not improve with the above treatment.
Thanks and take care
