Random rash/infection?

Around 3 or 4 days ago something showed up on the side of my calf. At first I thought I had just cut my self and didn't think twice about it, until I noticed more bumps showing up in the same area. Now there are maybe 6 bumps ranging in size. They are slightly pink/red, slightly warm to the touch, and only itch every once in a while. On one of the bumps there's what looks like a scab. I often am outside at the river and go on hikes in Northern California. I have looked up things like staph infection, impetigo, and many others but it just doesn't look like that. There has been no discharge from the bumps that I have noticed.

Hello~

I would see a dermatologist, it is difficult to tell what they are without pictures, and even then, I am not too familiar with skin disorders.
