A small black dot on the bottom of my foot - looks like dried blood. poked thru the top skin layer and it seems to flake off. any reason to see a dr.?

Yes: Small hemorrhages under the thick skin on one's foot can present this way and "flake off" with time. Black dot can also be a melanoma so i would see a doctor if it does not flake away completely.
