Blood Blister/Bruise In My Left Knee, Should I Be Worried About ?
I am a 24m and have what looks like a very small bruise below the right side of my kneecap on my left knee. It is flat and seems as though there is blood pooled up below my knee. It doesn t hurt, but just keeps gradually enlarging every time i play sports on it. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi,thanks for query.mostly it should be some cyst,which keeps on collection fluid every time there is some minor injury or pressure.You should visit your doctor and get it diagnosed.At times repeated injury can lead to infection and more problems.In most of the cases ultrasound needs to be done and then if needed surgical removal is advised.
wishing you good health.
