So on Wednesday of this week, I woke up and these tiny bumps concentrated on one side of my inner thigh. They were lightly itchy and were small and pinkish, kinda like pimples. I didn't know if it was contagious so I covered it in a bandaid. After that, the area started to itch uncontrollably. I took the bandaid off and the bumps were bigger. I went to urgent care and the doctor diagnosed me with contact dermatitis but I'm still unsure about it not being MC. She didn't shine a light on my thigh and the office was dimly lit. The bumps bleed and they peel, like dry skin. when I scratch them; no white fluid comes out. The area is still extremely itchy.
