What Causes A Small Burning Lump In Between The Foot And Lower Leg?

default
Posted on Wed, 4 May 2016
Question: I have a pea sized lump in between the foot and lower leg up front like the anterior ankle region. It is pink, firm and when you put pressure on it there is a burning itch like sensation that lasts a few seconds. There is no swelling anywhere not even on this little lump but it is raised. It doesn't affect my walking, standing, or exercise habits. I only notice when it gets bumped, slightly pressed on, or believe it or not cold sheets. I've had it for five months no changes other than it looks like a mosquito bite raised. I'm a 30 year old Caucasian female
