It appeared two days ago and slightly stings. It leaks tiny amounts of clear liquid.. I make sure to rub it with alcohol.

Alcohol hasn't been recommended for cleaning wounds in quite a while. Same with peroxide. Both kill healthy tissue and delay the healing process.

So what so you use? I blast it with alcohol and then apply Neosporin or polysporin
