What Causes Bump Filled With Pus And Blood On Knee?
Three days ago my 7 year old had a bump just beneath his knee that had a white tip. The doctor said it was a flea bite and I agreed until last night. The area is very painful and the white tip filled with pus and blood and was oozing last night after his bath. I applied pressure, cleaned it with warm water and gauze and continued putting Neosporin on it and covered it. Should he go back to the doctor? This morning it bled into the bandaid and looks more like a peak than a bump. Help! and Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some bacterial infection giving this problem.
He might require one course of antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days to control infection.
Clean the wound properly with antiseptic lotion and do dressing with Neosporin cream.
Ok and take care.
