Random Bumps On Wrist?

These three random bumps appeared on my arms on Monday, 1/13. They do not itch or burn and have not spread from this spot. I have been at home from college for the past four weeks and have not been anywhere unusual. I also have not engaged in any sexual activity with anyone outside of my monogamous relationship. I have watched my three infant niece and nephews that are daycare age, and have changed diapers, applied lotion, etc, which is the only skin to skin contact with anyone I have had. I am worried that it is scabies, as I live in an apartment with two other people. Please help! I did the ink burrow test (which is the dark color on the picture) and it looks slimy due to the permethrin I also used.imageimageimage

    If it doesnt itch and it hasnt spread its unlikely to be scabies. It may be Molluscum though.Just keep it clean,dont pick at it and it should clear up eventually. If it starts to spread or just gets worse,then you may need a doctor for advice.
