Look closely and you can see many little bubbles, sitting on top of an island of pink-red. This appearance is quite classical of herpes simplex infection. The virus causing it is probably already existing on the skin, but it has "decided" to "activate" causing a localized infection. See a doctor quickly to get a short course of antiviral medicine. In the meantime, apply an antiseptic cream or gel to prevent bacteria from complicating things further! This usually heals well.
