What Causes Small Bumps On The Hands?
I went to a camp over the weekend and slept in a cabin on a wooden bed with a mattress and my sleeping bag, the day after I got home I noticed that I had a bunch of red dots on my hands, the dots are now swollen and elevated. There s only about 10 but they re all swelling up and one of them popped and clear puss started coming out and it hasn t gone away or stopped coming out yet. I m thinking its a bed bug bite but I m not too sure, can you help me out?

You are suffering from papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.Oral antibiotic tablets like azithromycin along with topical antibacterial creams like mupirocin will help.Consult your dermatologist regarding the same. You must use mosquito nets as much as possible. Regards.
