Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

This pink patch could be due to some sort of allergic rash or ptechial due to fluid extravasation from capillaries.

But it needs to be inspected by naked eye of an expert to arrive at a certain conclusion.

However, you can take antihistamines like cetrizine or loratadine available over the counter to get rid off it.

You should see some local doctor or dermatologist who will inspect the lesion and prescribe appropriate treatment.
