This would require: examination of your skin & a history to try to answer that question. Take care.

Almost anything: It could be an allergic reaction to something that touched your skin, or an irritant (non-allergic) reaction, or a fungal infection (ringworm), or any number of other things. A dermatologist needs to see it in person to narrow down the possibilities.

The best way...: ...To slow down skin aging is to stay out of the sun. I'm not a big fan of masks in general; most of the home-created variety that i've seen in women's magazines involve various combinations of oatmeal, honey, egg whites, and assorted fruits & vegetables. Do any of them help aging skin? I doubt it.
