What Causes A Pinkish Lump And Pain In The Knee After A Fall?

I landed on the left side of my knee in a football game and I felt a burning pain. And now ever since, everytime I land on it just a bit hard I feel the same pain. Recently I've gotten little pink-ish zit-like bumps on the same spot. I'm worried and I don't know what it is.

Hi.
The worry is the probable internal injury , which can be diagnosed on a clinical examination by an Ortho Surgeon and confirmed by MRI.
The external injury too can be diagnosed by the same way.
The pink lump can be a synovitis- inflamation of the covering of the joint which keeps it wet and working and now due to injury it overworks to give a swelling.
