Hi,

The cluster of small bumps on your chin that are oozing clear liquid could be a sign of a skin condition called acne. Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can cause the formation of blackheads, whiteheads and pimple.

The clear liquid that is coming out of the bumps is likely pus, which is a sign of an infection. It's important to avoid touching or squeezing the bumps, as this can spread the infection and cause scarring. Instead, you should see a dermatologist or a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the bumps and get appropriate treatment.

Other possible causes of small bumps on the chin include allergic reactions to skincare products, ingrown hairs, or viral infections like herpes simplex virus. However, if the bumps are clustered and oozing fluid, acne is the most likely cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
