Red, Itchy, Hard Bumps On Arms. Clear Discharge. What Is It?
My boyfriend has noticed bug like bumps on his arms. They are red and very itchy at first but then become hard after a day or two. When he squeezes one a clear liquid comes out of it. We thought maybe bed bugs but I sleep in the same bed with him and I have noticed nothing. We also were thinking maybe hives but they last three to four days and I didn't think hives have liquid in them. The bumps do not come to a point like a pimple
