Sensitive Area On The Chest Followed By Rubbery Feeling, Sore Scab Oozing Pus. Any Ideas?

Hi,
It seems that you might have developed insect toxic dermatitis.
There is wheal ,erythema ,oozing and irritation and burnig.
All these ,suggest dermatitis caused by insect bite ...
Take a short course of antibiotics.
Take antihistaminics with steroids in tappering dose.
Apply antibiotic cream.
Do not scratch the lesion.
Within few days the lesion might be dried and healed after treatment.
You may consult dermatologist.
This much would be helpful to you.
Ok..
