Hi
Welcome to this site!
I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr Consultant Dermatologist.
I have seen your attachment and noted your concerns.
In view of the short history and the symptoms mentioned by you, the description corresponds to the skin lesions induced by by some irritant having come in contact with the site. This could be something that you came to use or that came in touch while participating in a recreational activity or just by chance. Some of the probable causes include an insect bite, use of a hair preparartion, spilling over of certain chemical, or exposure to some vapors or fumes.
Anyone with such a picture would respond best to the following measures:
1 Keep the area clean by repeated washing.
2 An antibiotic cream like one containing Mupirocin would be great help for resolution of bumps in such a case.
3 An anti allergic like Cetirizine should be handy and consumed if there is itching in the coming days.
4 To observe the evolution of lesions and report the matter in case of an adverse event like ulceration, spread, or growth.
With this information, you should get well soon.
Our best wishes, always!
