What Causes Recurring Bumps On Knee?
I have these weird skin colored bumps on my knee that come and go throughout the week. They do not itch and they only appear to be on my right knee. I am involved in track but nothing ever rubs up against my knee while running. What could these small bumps be?

Hi
It sounds to me like molluscum contagiosum and in majority of cases this subsides on its own within about 3 months time. But if at all it is causing some amount of discomfort for you then I would recommend a doctors visit who would help by either removing them on the spot or provide you with medication either oral (cimetidine) or topical (salicyclic acid, trey onion, etc.).
Best wishes.
