Knee Bump: Causes, Symptoms & When to See a Doctor


Question

...
I have a huge bump on my knee about the size of a half dollar. It itches and is red. Is this anything to worry about?

Answer
right now, it looks like an inflammatory reaction from something, like an insect bite.... if it becomes soft, fluid filled, painful, then it could become a staph skin abscess and may need drainage and antibiotics, but for now, it looks like you could simply wait for it to go away over the next 2 days..... I hope this helps........
