Skin Rash On The Hand. No Itching Or Pain. What Is It?

Hi a few days ago i noticed a red solid circle on my arm that looked like a burn and was slightly risen. It does not itch but has a little pay if i pick at it. I pick at it because the skin on it becomes very flakey, so i want to pick it off but then it becomes risen. Do you have any idea what this may be? or should i see a doctor about it?
