What Does Itchy Red Spot On Chest Indicate?

I have a small red spot on my chest that has been there for at least a year (not sure how long exactly). It s about the size of a pimple, but less pronounced. Sometimes it gets itchy and if i scratch it the area around it will go a bit red. Any idea what it is/how to get rid of it?
