Viral infection: Skin bumps filled with a clear center may represent a viral infection such as Herpes (HSV), Shingles (VZV), and others. They may not hurt now, but may once the bumps burst open. Have it seen in your primary care physician's office to confirm the rash; there may be a medication that can be given to you depending on the details of your case.

NOT VIRUS: Herpetic whitlow is painful, with a different presentation. Can ignore this, saving your time and money. If it bothers you, see a dermatologist. No diagnosis possible from this description.
