Minor issue. But possibly there's an easy fix.

There are professional ways to repair leather, but if it was myself I would micro-dab some dark colour into the small area. Use a sharp pointy toothpick like object, dab it into some coloured product and then dab it into the damaged area carefully, smooth off the excess. Maybe some shoe-polish, or Permatex makes a vinly repair kit with some coloured product in it. I'd suggest a sharpie marker but you need to be careful with it going over the lines too much, hence why I like micro-dabbing for small repairs.

a very light sanding or wet sanding using very fine grit sanding material - 2000 , 3000, 4000 grit over a very small area, it will remove more colour but if it flattens out a tad then touch it up along with the other areas.

for diy you can try the colourlock leather system, google or search it on amazon, you can also youtube it to see how it works. don't use a sharpie. you can replace the steering wheel at a later date if it still bothers you, or find a leather repair person to touch it up for you, so many options available.
