I have 3 bumps on the back of my leg that at first glance look like bug bites but up close there are lots of tiny little bumps in each big bump?

See doctor: If the problem persists. It is often difficult to tell what might have caused these bumps even with a direct look and nearly impossible with just a vague description. If these bumps don't hurt or itch, just watch it for a few days. If these lesions persist for more than a couple of weeks or get worse, see your doctor
