Cutaneous anthrax symptoms can include: 1  A group of small blisters or bumps that may itch. 2  Swelling can occur around the sore. 3  A painless skin sore (ulcer) with a black center that appears after the small blisters or bumps Most often the sore will be on the face, neck, arms, or hands.
The clinical manifestations of human anthrax are quite striking.

Cultures of the vesicular fluid are usually positive.
