What Could It Be If Got Hard Bumps On The Neck Overnight?

Small rice sized hard bump appeared seemingly over night on the back left of my neck. Very small but it's definitely there. I have gotten a few big bites this week (Mosquitos/flys) but this doesn't feel like any of the itching bumps from those. What can it be? Please advise.
