What Causes A Purple Lump On The Thigh?

Around three years ago I got bit by something when I was asleep. When I woke I found a pea sized lump on the outside of thigh, I left it alone but then it turned into a raised purple lump. I feel no pain and its practically numb I have tried too penetrate it with a needle but nothing goes through and then it starts too hurt.
