Itchy Lesions, Yellow Fluid Discharge. What Is This?

They are no longer itchy and seemed to be deflating and the yellowish fluid in them is now going and they are turning a darker red instead of the bright pink color..what is this??? never had this before

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might be suffering from erythema multiforme.
It is a viral condition caused by HHV.
You might require treatment with anti virals.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
