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

My guess would be some form of contact dermatitis. Did you brush up against any chemicals or have you been walking in the woods with shorts on? Usually an wound like this will just heal in a few days if there isn’t an underlying cause. Stop putting alcohol on it. That just damages your bodies ability to heal the wound.
