What Causes Lump On Knee?

I have these pink bumps along my left knee that have suddenly appeared a month or so ago. I thought that it may be simple bug bites at first, but they got bigger, and they each have a hole in them with this white, crusty-like substance in it. I'd say they are about the size of an average lady bug.
