Hi thank you for replying anyways this did develop over night. Ask you can see it started out with one bump which is shown in the picture near my belly button . The first bump used to be a little bit bigger and it was hurting but now it looks like it is going away. The 2nd bump is more recently develop, it doesnt itch or burn at all. Its hurts and feel like how a pimple feel if youre poking at it. It only hurts whenever i touch it. Whenever i touch it it feels like it has blood or something inside of it. I tried popping it but it will not pop and there is no opening for it to be pop. It it right on my stretch marks from where i used to be pregnant.

Brief Answer:
Self subsiding, however watch the lesion

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, this looks like insect bite to me.Nothing to panic.I would request you not to pop or squeeze or press the blemish since it can get infected and leaves an ugly scar when it heals.

Since you donot have itching, burning or pain I donot see any reason for taking medication.Apply calamine lotion twice daily for 2-3 days and observe.It shall definitely subside by itself.

Hope this answers your query.
