Accepted Answer

See skin MD: I can't tell you exactly what you have.  How long has it been there, has it enlarged, has it bled, are all important bits of information.  Depending on these factors it could be an insect or tick bite, some kind of foreign body injury, or a skin tumor (benign or malignant).  You should see a dermatologist asap to find out.  This may require a biopsy or total removal for pathology examination.

Bug bite: You probably got bitten by a bug of some sort - impossible to tell what sort without seeing it in person. Could also be a small staph infection, or a bite that has become infected. Apply warm soaks 2-3 times/day, but if it doesn't resolve in a few days see your doctor or a dermatologist.

Not to worry: This sounds like what are called cherry hemangiomas.  These are little gifts that you get from one or both of your parents.  They are simply made up of hundreds of small blood vessels.  These growths never turn bad.  You will continue to get more as you get older.  They are very easily treated with a laser without leaving any marks.
