Noticed A Small Lump On The Kneecap

Hi.
I would advise such a patient to have a consultation and examination by a Orthopedic Surgeon. Self medication can be dangerous and there is more chance of getting into further complications; you already have one developing. Since knee is a weight bearing joint, you have to be very careful.
