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

I make sure to rub it with alcohol.

Could be why it's weeping. Alcohol may damage the tissue.

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