Skin growth

I just notice a flesh/skin grow near my armpit.
It is circular, small, red and raised like a nipple (see picture links).

I will like to know what it is ?
What causes this ?
Should I be concerned ?
Any recommendation(s) on removing it ?

Picture links (sorry I didn't have better pictures):

note:
the first pic showed 3 dots, I am referring to the top red dot.
the second pic showed the "height" of the red dot.

Thanks,
RZ

Pimples?  irritated skin tags?  Can't think of much else and can't think of anything significant.  Leave them alone and if they don't subside, show a doctor.

Take care.
