Have Had Blood Blister On Leg. Is It A Wart?

Hi I have had a blood blister type thing on my upper leg for years now. I did ask a doctor about it previously and she said it was nothing to worry about. I noticed that the past week or so skin forming over it (a bit like a wart) now have noticed it has started to go dark purple/black around one edge. I looked on the internet and am now petrified this is something really bad
