Possible bite on: shin. Yes, you MAY have a tick there. If so, the sooner it is removed the better. Please see your doc. Peace and good health.

Watch and document.: There are just too many things that could cause a small lump to make even an educated guess. The fact that it's not painful, color indicated that is probably not inflamed or infected. The depth of the lump as well as it's firmness could possibly narrow down the possibilities. Keep an eye on it, maybe even take a picture of it, and resubmit the information if the lump gets larger.
