: It is probably not a burn mark. Because what would be burning it? This is not uncommon, put this link in your browser: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-31438706 Do not wear it for a few days and treat the skin with 1% cortisone cream a couple times per day until it recovers, then wear it looser.
