Hello,
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Generally, it will settle soon. If there is worsening, you might require laser therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
