Suggest Treatment For Small Bumps Behind The Knees
Question: I have pea sized bumps behind my knees. They seem to follow the cords or tendons behind the knee. They don't really hurt. What do you think this could be?
Brief Answer:
They may be Ganglia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Swellings that occur in relation to Tendons are Ganglia. There is no medical treatment for this.They have to be removed surgically.
Another possibility is Multiple lipomas.These swellings too should be removed. There is no medical management.
You should consult a Surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
Regards
