A member asked:
A couple inches above my knee is a bulge, that has grown the past few months. it doesn't hurt but is now red and is warm to the touch. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Redness and tenderness is indicative of inflammation and probable infection which has complicated a preexisting lump. This lump may be a cyst, ingrown hair or bony growth. In any case you must be examined by a physician for diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime apply warm soaks until your examination.
