I have a raised medium sized red bump on the inside of my forearm. It is hard & incredibly itchy. Originally a bite (2018) but it went away. 13 months ago it would flare up and get itchy. 2 months ago it has remained itchy. What is it? Wart, keloid?

Ive been getting for almost two years now, random red bumps on all different parts of my body. The bump can appear on my leg, torso, arm, etc. It is not painful or itchy, it is also not raised or hard. I get one every few weeks. It heals on its own?
