Red spot on upper arm
I have had this red spot on my upper arm for quite a while now (pics attached). It is not completely flat and is slightly raised. I haven't thought much about it since I've seen my father and mother (both in 50s) have quite a few similar red spots. I am 22 years old. Sometimes however that genera area tingles or is irritated for a few minutes after which it subsides. Is this something serious? What could it be?Kindly advise. Thank you.
