What Causes Red Dots And Pain On Ribs?

I have a red dot on my side that looks just like an small bug bite, pretty normal looking, but it is causing a pain through my ribs like a bruise. Hard pressure on it you cant tell but lightly rubbing over it hurts. Its strange, and i cant figure it out i need help.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you may be having having a small boil or a insect bite or some allergic reaction. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can take Antiallergic agents such as cetrizine for reduction of allergic reaction. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
