I have a purple spot on right rib cage 4 inches below nipple in front and numbess under shoulder blade in back on right side. what could it be.

Unlikely related: How long has the spot been there? Does it blanch when pressed? Tender? Numbness on back likely is related to a nerve compression and needs an exam to diagnose.
