A member asked:
Pain in leg behind knee and swelling with what looks like hole in centre of swelling with a vein. some redness beside it and feels stinging at times?

You may have a Bakers cyst but I cannot rule out phlebitis by the way you describe. Superficial phlebitis can be taken care with warm compress several times a day until it resolves. If the swelling persists and bothers you, you should see your doctor for a definite assessment.
