What Causes Itchy Lumps On The Discolored Scab Of The Knee?

A few months ago I was skateboarding and fell off and grazed my knee. This has left me with a darker discoloration where the scab was, which seemed normal so I didn't worry about it, but about 2 weeks ago two little lumps appeared on it and were quite itchy. Now there are 6+. Do you have any idea what these are? They look slightly like mosquitto bites but they're not going away and multiplying.. Thankyou

Hi,thanks for the query to my HCM virtual-CLINIC.
-In my opinion-You are suffering -mostly from-knee abrasion with scab in the beginning,
- which developed later on in 2-6 lumps-with underneath wound infection,presenting with itching.
-Multiplication of these itchy lumps may be due to associated Ringworm which developed underneath the scab-this could also be thought off as one of the possibilty while treating it.
-Consult your family doctor / and skin doctor and investigate to fix the cause of it.
-Remedy-Would be with -
-Tb-NSAID-for 5 days time
-Antibiotic with advise from your family doctor for 5 days time.
-ketaconazole oint locally with good wound care would resolve your knee lump.
-If no reduction then review the diagnosis with Surgeons consultation who-would do debridment of the wound and change the antibiotic and would take the care of the knee wound with scab properly.
-Hope this would help to resolve your knee-itchy- lump by discussing with your doctor.
Wishing you fast-recovery.
Wellcome to my HCM Clinic again.Good night.
