What Do Hard Brown Coloured Lumps On Both Sides Of The Knees Indicate?
Hi i have two hard brown coloured lumps on the side of both of my knees only developed about 5 years ago, one is now inverted which stings if i bother it, my doctor has advised not to remove it as it could leave a big scar as it could be deeper than thought not sure what it is?

Hi,
it seems due to hypertrophy of skin locally or pressure areas however biopsy may be done to look for exact cause. Before that local examination by a dermatologist or a rheumatologist may be helpful and possibilities of baker cyst should be ruled out.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
