It sounds like an: abrasion or trauma to the area however there are many other possibilities. Without being able to see the lesions it is too difficult to make a diagnosis. Make an appointment with a health care provider for evaluation and examination.

I have a small cluster of bumps on my thigh. They are in a perfect circle. The spot is red and is very itchy. Could this be a spider bite or something? It is slightly raised and has gotten a little bit bigger since I first noticed it a few days ago.
