Hi I have a half cm in diameter bump that red around the edges and dry skin white on top, it sticks out about 2 mm. It doesn t bother be or itch but I would like to know how to get it off. It s on the inner part of my right knee . Also, I ve tried picking at it, not knowing what it was and no puss comes out, it just starts bleeding . Thank you.

Hi
It could be infected small sebaceous cyst.
It is red due to infection and associated inflammation.
do not press it.
Please consult a surgeon/ dermatologist and get it removed completely.
It is a simple procedure.
