What Does A Cyst On The Left Elbow Indicate?

Hello Dr. This is nothing serious, but I have a white little (size of half of a pencil eraser) bump/cyst on my left elbow. It was dry and bugged me, so I eventually scratched it off. Not it scabs up, and bleeds and stains my shirts, etc. Should I go get it removed by a doctor?
Thank you,

David
