Annoying, not scary: Looks like it could be fungal (like athletes foot), eczema, or irritation. Doesn't look like melanoma. If it flares back up, won't go away, or gets bigger, have it checked out.

Skin lesion: Definitely, it is not melanoma. To me it looks like fungal infection. Eczema is possible- however the location is not typical for eczema. You can try fungal infection cream otc, but for sure, go to see you doc for further evaluation for sure, especially if anti fungal medication does not work.
