Even if it isn't your doctor will be able to prescribe antibiotics that will clear it up in no time. First thing though is to stop scratching- it'll only get worse and if it is impetigo its highly infectious. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]

Seriously, go to the doctor. Sounds like you have a patch of eczema or have irritated the area to infection. He'll be able to give you something to clear it up.
