What Causes Bump On Upper Arm?

i have what looks like a freckle, but now its like a small slightly raised bump on my upper arm. It is a bit red right now and looks like it has a small hole in the middle. Do you know what this could be? I can't remember if it was a freckle before or if its just a new mark.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This may be a small boil and nothing serious. BY virtue of the position- this may have ribbed against the clothes or body and altered the classical appearance.
A small course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine can help solve your problem.
