Hi,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,the itchy large lump on the knee after a scratch,seems to be Furuncle after the itchy scratch,which got burst and is now bleeding.
The bleeding is not to be worried,as the pus is drained and collected blood in the lump is draining now.Its not cancerous lump.
So don't worry it.Consult your Surgeon who would treat it with all the care it needs.
This reply would resolve your current issues and would reduce your anxiety with it.

Hope this reply would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you.
Welcome with any other further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
