Hello, from the photograph it appears to be allergic/ toxic reaction due to insect crawling called as paederus dermatitis. Avoid touching this area. Consult a skin specialist for treatment. Avoid self medication. Hope this helps you. Warm regards, Dr Pinanky Jadhav, Eternis Skin & Hair Clinic, Pune
