Suggest Treatment For A Hard And Immobile Lump Under Skin On The Calf

I'm an athletic 26 year old male (5ft 10in and 145 pounds) and I have a hard, non-movable, pea-sized lump under the skin on my left calf. It doesn't hurt and has been there for a few months at least - doesn't appear to be growing. It has a slight brownish color to it.
