Welt Like Bumps Filled With Liquid On Wrist, Forearms, Near Ribs, Irritation Present. Using Cortisone Cream, Benadryl. Poison Oak?

I got a few welt like bumps on my right wrist and a few half way down my forearm with a few long skinny welts and tiny little red dots that surround it and some less puffy long red marks on my right side starting mid way up the ribs. They don't really itch or hurt too much but the three on the side of my wrist are irritating because its on the bend. The marks on my side have been slowly fading (its been about a week) I've been using cortisone cream with twice a day benadrhyl and multiple hydrogen peroxide baths which seem to be working but the welts on my writs seem to be filled with some sort of liquid. They look similar to poison oak but no oozing and no itch or burn. Should I be concerned or just keep up with my treatment.

Hello,

It is a vesicular skin lesion. May be due to any allergic reaction. But it may be secondarily infected by bacteria and for pus. keep the area clean and use topical antibiotic cream to prevent secondary bacterial infection.
