Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Causes for the painful cyst undrer the knee-In my opinion your non-painful lump below knee cap-appears to have re-activated infection in it and has caused cellulitic spread till top of the foot of leg.
This has developed due to the possible blood infection of the existing cyst or due to re-activation of the chronic died out cystic swelling below the knee.
This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.
Hope this would relieve your problem.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
