A member asked:
Why is there a bump on my knee cap and why is it itchy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A bump on the knee cap could represent different conditions, such as bursitis, or a lipoma, or a hematoma, or even an abscess. Itching could indicate associated inflammation. See a physician for further evaluation, especially if there is associated redness or significant pain.
