Default Rust spots - Rear bumper

Really didn't find anything in a search attempt.
Anyway, I've noticed a couple of small, Half Dollar size
rust bubbled areas on theLeft rear bumper.
Is there an easy way to clean and repair those areas??
Grind and prime, cut/weld, or......?
The cheaper the better, especially if I had transmission work ahead!
Photos Friday, before I try to park the truck in the garage again!
I do have metal working experience, granted from 25 years ago in High School.

Or some sort of quick, simple preventative measures I can take?
Have a couple of spray cans of that Flex Seal stuff seen on TV.
Would something like that work, to help keep water etc....out of the damaged area(s)? After the area has been cleaned of course!
Information, as always, much appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm not an expert but recently I changed out my back bumper with one from a scrap yard. I noticed the inside was just a bit rusty. None of it was too deep so I just sanded on it until I got it all off then I spray painted it and called it good. That was over the summer and it seems to be pretty good right now.
