Hello,
Possible causes like molluscum or acne must be ruled out. It will be better if you attach a picture in the follow-up query.
Generally, the lesion will settle by itself. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
