Possible hemangioma: It could be a small collection of blood vessels. They can wax and wane depending on how warm you are and various other factors. Not dangerous.

I developed a small mole-like spot on my stomach. It is smaller than a pencil eraser and it started out as dark red and has been on me for about a week. It is now brown and it is flat, but feels like I could peel it off like a scab if I wanted to.
