Lump Above Knee Cap, Not Sore, Tingling, Itching
Hi, I have a small lump about 3 inches above my knee cap that I have had for a few months. It s not sore or anything, but sometimes it tingles and itches moving up my thigh. It typically bothers me right after I get out of the shower or at night. I have been putting icy-hot on it and that seems to sooth it a little. Any suggestions please?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might have developed fungal infection.
Please get a KOH mount done,
This can confirm the fungal etiology.
Treatment can be with oral antifungals as well as with topical antifungals.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
