Not a woundcare nurse, don't even play one on tv. But I am a nurse and say get thee to an urgent care at the very least. If you have a pcp and they have urgent same day appointments they may be able to help you, but sooner rather than later.
I'm surprised it doesn't hurt. That redness all around it is concerning for soft tissue infection. Also the coloring for the scab is not what we like to see for healing dried secretions - it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a buildup of pus beneath it.

I’ll try to make an appointment. It doesn’t hurt at all and hasn’t spread or become worse over time. It’s just looked like this the whole time

It tingles sometimes but doesn’t hurt. I’m glad I posted this because I was going to see if it healed on its own. Thank you for the info!
