That is an image that will linger. I generally don’t smell bumps. Under the category of bumps you don’t want to have - - Sweet’s Syndrome. Signs and symptoms include: - Fever - Painful small red bumps on your arms, face, neck or back - Bumps that grow quickly in size, spreading into painful clusters up to an inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter ---
