What Could Swelling Under The Knee With White Pimple In The Center Indicate?
Hi I woke up yesterday and had a little pain under my knee (in my knee pit) and looked and it was a little swollen and looked like a bug bite but didn t itch just more hurt. Throughout the day it kept getting larger and now also has a white tiny pimple in the center. I circled it before I slept to see if it got bigger and it did. I m studying abroad in austrailia and nervous something could be wron!g! Can you help?

Hi,
The symptoms you describe could be several things, including an insect bite, a cyst, or a boil. It is easier to say with more information or a physical examination. You should see a healthcare professional to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. They can determine the cause of the swelling and provide the appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
