I have 1 small itchy bump that won't go away. thought it was a bug bite, but it's been weeks. when i scratch, it becomes ashy around the bump.?

Have it evaluated.: It is possible that there might be a small smoldering infection in the center of that lesion. Either way if it will not go away then see your dr. As some skin cancers may present that way and can be treated easily through excision. Have it evaluated.
