What Causes A Small Bump On The Left Shin?

I woke up this morning and noticed I had a bump/bulge(about the size of a quarter) on my left shin, it was painful. I rubbed and massaged it to try to make it go away. The swell is not as large anymore but it is very red. What could it be I didn t injure my leg, should I go see my doctor or just wait and see if it goes away by itself?
