What Causes Small White Lump On Knee Cap?

I have a small white lump on my knee cap directly on the bone. It isn t painful when sat down but my knee aches when I walk, it hurts the most when I touch it. It is a faint white white in the middle and surrounded by redness and swelling. I have always had problems with my knees but this is something new. Could it be anything seriou? I ve had it for around 3 days. Thanks
