Hello. Because the photo you uploaded is blurry, the exact condition isn’t clear; we can only see hair loss and red skin at the site, which may be from trauma or skin disease. If it’s a wound from a scrape or scratch, clean, disinfect, and apply anti-inflammatory treatment.

If the site doesn’t improve, it means infection has set in, and you’ll need to identify the infection type to apply the right treatment.
