Have Swollen And Painful Knee. Noticed Bump On It. Should I Be Concerned?

Thanks for posting your query.
After gone through your present complaint and previous history, it seems that scab formed after your recent injuries over knee got infected. So that your knee become swollen, tender and pus coming out of scratched wound.
I suggest you to consult a doctor as soon as possible for a detailed examination of wound. If on aspiration of swelling pus comes out, it requires incision and drainage and pus sent for culture and sensitivity so that appropriate antibiotic can be started.
Hope I was able to address your concern. Let me know if you need any more help.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health....
Regards
