What Causes A Lump On The Rib Cage?

Hello, last wensday I noticed a bump on my ribecage area similiar to a mosquito bite except was not round. The next day it looked like 3 small brown/black oval shaped marks. Also, skin slightly raised and possible scabbing. Today, I woke up with a new mark on my back about 4-5in away from the initial mark, taught it was an ingrown pimple because that's what it felt like then I looked in the mirror and its the exact same mark as the intial one 3 days prior.
