Ouch! That looks painful!I was thinking heat rash, but that doesn't Look similar to yours!. Maybe the scab was from a bug bite that either became infected when you picked it, or caused an allergic reaction from the oozing!. Try hydrogen peroxide to dry out the bumps and to keep it disinfected!.Try baking soda or cornstarch, like powder, for the itching!.
Don't use heat or hot water on the area, as it may increase the rash or bacteria!. And try some neosporin cream, not salve, in case it's from fungal bacterias!. Good luck & don't scratch! I know easier said than done!. But that's where a cool rag or the cornstarch might help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you may just have a simple rash, consult your doctor, they may tell you to get some kind of ointment to treat rashes and put that on it, if you have tried that and it didn't work then i would defiantly consult your doctor, it doesn't appear to be anything serious, if you just recently had it pieced or had a ring in it, it could be an allergic reaction, and in that case it should go away in another week or two!. it could also be an infection of some sort, in which case you really should talk to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If it's oozing, it sounds like an infection!.
Try gently cleaning it with a neutral soap (like Neutrogena) and luke warm water, and then applying Neosporin!. Do this twice a day (morning and night)!.
If you don't see any improvements, then you should see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It looks like cellulitis (fancy name for skin infection)!. Your doctor will probably prescribe an oral antibiotic for you!. Get to the doctor soon to take care of it!Www@Answer-Health@Com
