Hi,Good Morning,Thanks for your query to My-HCM Clinic.I studied your query in depth.I understood your concerns.
My opinion of your illness- is tender lump on left rib cage with rash-.
Its Causes -could be Shingles?bedbug bite?Lymphoma mets?lymes lump with rash?

Consult the ER Surgeon who would investigate and treat it accordingly.
