YES: ..But i certainly do not have near enough information to give you an assessment. See your doctor, and he/she may refer you to a dermatologist or surgeon. In the meantime, keep the area clean with basic soap and water, and avoid stringent chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide. Good luck.

Get it looked at: Have it evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if a biopsy is needed. It's always better to air on the side of caution and have it looked at. Maybe an antibiotic is all you need but it's a risk to not do anything. Good luck!
