Best way to diagnose it is a biopsy. If you don’t have lesion anywhere else on your body then I would stop MXT - it’s a immunosuppressant. In the COVID 19 crisis we should improve our immunity. If not required then I would try and manage with topical applications after proper consultation and history
Next Steps
I would advise to consult online
