lump on shin/swollen ankle-foot

I have had a lump on my shin for over two weeks.
I tought it was a vein as it was,and still is green underneath.
I have had two courses of antibiotics.
The first doctor saying it was a soft tissue infection and the second said it was a boil(which it definately is not).
The redness has slightly gone down on the lump but now I have a very sore and very swollen ankle…. What is this?

    I could not ever give a diagnosis without examining you. I suggest you discuss this with your doctor. Possibly further testing is indicated (MRI, ultrasound?)
