Red itchy mark with lump underneath

Hi... I've had a round itchy mark on my chest now for 6 weeks. I've tried fungal and steroid cream but nothing seems to clear it up. If you feel underneath it there is a noticeable lumpy texture not fixed like a stone but it's lumpy in texture. The steroid cream stopped the itching but no improvement in the appearance. Any ideas? It literally appeared overnight. The skin was clear before hand. Pics below. It's about 1cm in size....

Hi there! It looks a little like a bite. I would not worry about it too much unless it gets worse or continues for a longer time. I would probably use something to stop myself from scratching it and see what happens.. My mosquito bites tend to look that way. I can't tell if there is a center or entry point. If it starts getting red streaks off of it, please get to a doc right away. If that happens it could be a spider.. Good luck with it..
