Skin issues can you help?
A few questions here i have a small scar like bump on my arm that ive had for years but it hasnt grown or gone away. What is it? Also, the other day on my other arm i noticed a small lesion of some kind with a yellowish middle and red outside that looks similar to that of a healing burn about the size of a pencil around... Im scared what is this???

Does the scar like bump hurt at all? Have you ever had anyone look at it? Other bump could be just an infected skin follicle, but it sounds like you are very concerned. For a bit of piece of mind and a more accurate diagnosis- get to a doctor to have them take a look. They will be able to gather medical history and take a closer look in order to be able to give you more information on what you are seeing.

I am not a fan of doctors i know i should go the scar-like bump ive had for years and it occasionally gets irritated and inflamed.
Totally understand not being a fan of doctors, but it sounds like it's causing some anxiety- so if I were you, I'd go ahead and get to the doctor for some peace of mind about it.
