Is A Growing Painful Bump On My Knee A Serious Concern?

default
Posted on Fri, 16 Feb 2024
Question: You I have a painful bump on my knee that started out looking like a pimple, but has continued to grow. It is now large and the surrounding skin is red. I am new in town and have not yet established a regular doctor so it will be weeks before I can get an appointment. I am not sure if I can wait that long or not. I have had a staph infection in the past so I am very concerned.
