Suggest Treatment For Sore Spot In Knee

My grandson has had a sore on his knee for a couple of weeks, due to football practice and games it has taken a long time to heal. Yesterday at his game, he reinjured the spot, causing a blood blister approximately the size of a dime. My question is, should we pop it or let it heal as is?

HI,
I understand your query.
Do not disturb the blood blister ( hematoma ) over knee . Let it hewal by itself.
You can try cold packs & pain killers as & when required.
He should avoid re injuring the part, till it gets healed. Let him wear a protective bandage/ avoid playing till then.
Thanks.
