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

It looks like it had a scab over it previously. Is that the site of an old wound? If so it may be scurvy, one of the effects are reopening of old wounds. The simplest fix is drink lots of natural orange juice and lemonade to up your vitamin C intake.
