Road rash: Road rash is usually a self limited problem and rarely requires a doctors visit. The development of red bumps changes things. I would see your doctor to ensure you haven't developed an infection.

Time for an eval: Any time you have an injury that is not getting better as you would expect, or is getting worse with increasing pain or redness, foul discharge, etc. You should see a physician for an evaluation. You don't want a minor and easily treatable infection to turn into something much more serious or potentially life threatening. Go get it looked at to make sure it is nothing serious. Good luck.
