Hi, thanks for writing to HCM!

Just relax! nothing to worry about this purple nodule...

Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a small pea-sized lump in the leg, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:

1.     a benign tumor like dermatofibroma or neurofibroma
2.     The second possibility is of an inflamed skin mole or a sebaceous cyst     
3.     The last possibility is of some skin papilloma-like fibro-epithelial polyp or a pyogenic granuloma or hemangioma!
     
Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation before consulting a surgeon or dermatologist in your area!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
