What is this itchy, scaly, slightly inflamed,skin growth?

About four weeks ago, I noticed about four raised dots[like warts] on my wrist, so I covered them with a wart medication.





A week later, the other three disappeared and the biggest one became inflamed and scabbed over. It also seemed to have a bit of liquid inside of it.





Its on my wrist and its raised, 3/4 of an inch wide, itchy and scaly.





Its only inflamed around it, and the middle is kind of light brown-ish white.





I'm a bit worried about it.





I'm going to see a doctor about it, but I was wondering if anyone had any clue what it might be.





I've considered that it might me eczema.

I'm sorry for you but It is probably eczema. Though it is a skin disease, it cannot kill you. Don't worry! I would recommend going to the dermatologist to get a prescription for it. It tends to be worse in the winter because of heaters that dry up your skin. If you can't afford to go to the dermatologist try Eucerin non-scented lotion. It works wonders for me. (I have eczema) Some things that make it worse are hot water, scented soaps, citrus, and heat/lack of moisture. It may or may not go away as you get older. It can come back at any time.
Reply:it could be eczema. i have eczma real bad in 7th grade where it was all over my face and the dermitoligest had never seen anything like it. They will just give u cream and u will be fine.
Reply:There are so many types of skin disorders that I would not dare hazard a guess on what you are suffering from. Best is to wait for the diagnosis from your doctor.
