6 year old boy who has had this lesion over his elbow over the last 1 month. No itchiness. Tried a local anti-fungal cream. It did not subside. The size of the lesion has gradually increased. He does not give any history of injury to the area and does not apply to much pressure to it in general. What could it be?
