Doubt it: The limited location & cited appearance suggest a contact dermatitis reaction to some agent. This could be a shampoo/soap or other material that passed over the area. Keep it clean & it should heal. It does not sound like covid.

Exam advised: If the eruption was only on.one side of your body, shingles would be highly suspected, but would not appear behind both ears. Another type of herpes outbreak would be a possibility. Since treatment is available for these infections, I strongly recommend being examined by a physician or dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
