Hi there...
To give you a more definitive solution, a more detailed history especially personal history and clear pics will be required.
Nothing to worry about...the matter can be easily sorted out.
An Online Consultation is Best initially (given constraints we all have with jobs n traffic etc) followed by an in-person consult if required for any hands-on intervention.
Here's wishing you a clear healthy skin.
Godspeed 🙏
