Hi,
I don't think that painful white bumps on knee can be related to small the scar on your knee from an accident. The bump can't be related to boil. I suggest applying a hot compress over the knee and use antibacterial soap. I, also, suggest nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400mg 2 times a day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
