What Causes Redness After Clearing The Pus Filled In The Bump On The Knee?
I have had this pea size bump on my knee cap for quite some time. It doesn t bother me, no pain soreness or anything. Today after being in sun and water for a few hours I barely pushed on it and it started oozing what seems like puss, a lot of it! I believe I got most out, it is somewhat sore and red now obviously from squeezing. What is it? Should I be concerned?

Hello,
It could be an infection or a local lipoma. I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an ultrasound of the bump, in order to examine its nature.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
