Hi,
What is the approximate size? Are just discolouration, or is elevated from the surface? It would be helpful if you can send a picture of the lesion. Brown itchy lesions may suggest an insect bite reaction or allergic reaction to some other insults. Usually these will respond to an antihistamine like Levocetirizine, along with topical steroid creams for 1-2 weeks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
