What Causes A Sore Hard Lump On The Calf?

I have a small hard lump on my left calf (the side not the front). It is very painful to the touch and the skin around it is a light red color. You can't see the lump and have to press on it to feel. I noticed this a few days ago, any ideas as to what it could be?
