General & Family Physician 's  Response
thank you for your query.....

it seems like unmindfully you have got a scratch on your back and that might have got infected to some extent leading to the vesicular appearance...it might pain a bit later but it is a minor thing...
apply mupirocin or neosporin ointment over it gently twice daily for 4-5 days and it will heal...
however if similar fluid filled vesicles appear in the adjacent area or in other areas of your body in a few days and it becomes painful, it might be some other disease like chicken pox or herpes infection....
in that case you need to see a physician for investigation and treatment....

hope that was useful...
you can contact me for any further questions...

regards
