Evaluation: The clear liquid indicates a break down of the skin barrier. This will make it more likely that an infection of the skin may occur. Please see a Dermatologist right away. If none is available, provide a photo by uploading a photo for review during an inbox Healthtap consultation. Please avoid rubbing or irritating the skin. An antihistamine will help to control itching.
