Suggest Treatment For Bump Behind The Knee

I have a bump or lump the size of a nickel in the back of my left leg where I bend to walk. I first noticed it February 12 and thought it was a bug bite, it was red and sore. It is not that sore anymore and not red but the bump / lump is still there and is tender if I press on it. Today is March 16 a month later. what could it be and what type of Dr. should I see?
