What Causes Lump On The Back Of Leg And Pressure In Ankle?

Hi. I have a pea-sized lump on the back of my leg, right by my ankle. it feels soft, and can be moved around a bit. I feel a little pressure in my ankle, and the lump is sore when I touch it. Is this cause for concern? I ve had it for about 3 weeks, originally I thought it could be a mosquito bite, but it never itched.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the lesion is hard and does not move then this could be corn and if this is firm and mobile then this could be lipoma or lymph node, if this is corn then this need to be removed surgically and in other case nothing much can be done, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
