Hi,I have about 10-15 raised bumps that have clear fluid that once scraped open become red, itchy, nerve ending sore, very similar to a mosquito bite. The red sores last up to 4 months to heal. they get thick if irritated. I constantly want to itch them or crape them with my nail. they are not in a group. They are a few on my chest, a few on my arms several on my back, one on my cheek, neck etc. I am having a hard time finding out what this could be. I have been putting steroid cream on them. It helps, but they are not going away.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Based on your description, it is possible that you may have impetigo which is a bacterial infection of the skin. It can spread to other areas of the skin and may also spread to other persons in some cases. They lesion may itch and may appear as an insect bite as you mentioned. Treatment requires a course of oral antibiotics which would need to be prescribed from your doctor. It normally responds well to treatment hope this helps
