THANKS .
YOUR LUMP ON THE RIGHT KNEE SEEMS TO BE PAINFUL AND TENDER ON TOUCH .I WANT TO KNOW THE DURATION FOR WHICH IT IS PRESENT.IT MAY BE AN INFECTED LIPOMA OR AN INFECTED BURSA OVER THE KNEE.
I WANT TO PRESCRIBE ANTIBIOTICS LIKE CIPROFLOXACIN 500MG TWICE A DAY FOR 5 DAYS ALONG WITH DICLOFENAC LIKE ANALGESIC AND AN ANTACID. IT MAY SUBSIDE ON THIS ONLY. IF NOT THIS IS THE CASE YOU SHOULD VISIT A LOCAL SURGEON.
ALL THE BEST!
