I have a like 5 or 6 mosquito like bumps/scabs on my ankles. They itch terrbily sometimes and others I forget they are there. I don't think it is scabies, because I feel like they would all be together and the rash would be bigger, but its not really a rash to begin with. Obviously they aren't mosquito bites since I am in Huntington, WV and it's too cold out...

Anyone got any ideas?

some liquid when they get real itchy and I break the skin, but not really pus, unless that's considered pus?

Not scabies. Use some Hydrocortizone cream after washing the area well.

I am curious though why when developing a small rash, your first thought was scabies? Have you been around someone infected with them? Are you a competitor in a sport requiring physical contact like wrestling or MMA?

Scabies usually presents itself by larger (the size of the head of a thumbtack) dry sores, that don't heal. Sometimes they seep. They partially heal part way from the outside edges, and those edges get crusty.

Bed bugs. Wash your sheets and spray your mattress with Lysol.
