What Causes Cluster Of Red Raised Dots On The Side Of Chest?

My son developed a cluster of red raised dots about the dive of a pin head on the side of his chest. The cluster is about 1 by 2 with about 25-30 small bumps. They pitched a little. After a few days I noticed that all the dots had a scab right in the center. What could these be?
