question: I am 49 and I found a hard lump a couple of months ago about 3-4 inches above my ankle on the back of my leg that started out red and sore to the touch.  The redness went away and it now looks like an old faded lt brown bruise and I have to really look to find it.  However, it is still sore to touch - much like a bruise is and it still is hard.  It is about the size of a penny.  I also now have heel pain on the same leg when I get up to walk but then it fades. It's worse some days than others. Sometimes it hurts every time I get up and other days it hardly hurts at all.  I do have Dupuytren's disease.  Could this be a lesion similar to that?
