Bursitis: A soft and painful ( and sometimes red and warm ) lump on the front of the knee is known as prepatellar bursitis. This is an inflammation of the sack of fluid that overlies your kneecap. Treatment is absolute avoidance of pressure on the knee / rest and non steroidal meds. Sometimes removal of the fluid and injection of steroids is required.
