Treatment For Puss Filled Itchy Bumps On Calf And Knee

Hi, have red, itchy bumps on my left calf up to knee area . They are filling with puss and they feel like bug bites of some sort. But they seem to increase in numbers. It started yesterday with about five and now I have about 20 all together. Put bandages on all to contain the fluid. First I thought I got bitten by an insect., but now I am wondering if it is something else. Your thoughts? Thank you so much. Britta

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you are having infection, and if it spreads it can be dangerous, do not waste your time and consult your doctor at the earliest, as early start of antibioics will help.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
