Suggest Treatment For A Purple Pimple On The Finger

I have a purple mark about 2mm across on one of my fingers. It has been coming and going for about a year. It doesn t hurt, it has irregular margins and is not raised. It never gets any bigger, but it goes away entirely for weeks at a time? Any thoughts?
