What Are Circular Cluster Of Bumps On The Arm Which Flaked Off After Rubbing Alcohol?
I have a cluster of bumps that form a small circle like shape on my arm. I woke up this morning and it was itching I scratched it without knowing that the bumps were there. I took some rrubbing alcohol and rubbed on it to dry it out. And it began to leak clear puss. When the puss dried is turned a whitish color and was flakey. What is it.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some insect bite producing allergic reaction on the part.
Due to severe itching there might be having infection on the part.
Take antihistamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3 days.
If require go for one course of antibiotic for 3 days.
Apply triple acting cream locally.
Ok and take care.
