Cluster Of Itchy Bumps On Outer Upper Thigh And Ribcage. What To Do ?
I have a cluster of of bumps on my outer upper thigh and a few on ribcage. A few days ago first cluster on thigh started as 2 or 3 bumps that looked like little bug bites. Now there about ten some small some a little larger bumps and sometimes some bumps look like they get a pimple head but they itch and I scratch the white head away. They kind of hurt but I think its from too muuch scratching. I got a tattoo coverup a week and these clusters are around the new tattoo. I don't know what it is or what to do. Please help and thank you.
