Suggest Treatment For Pain And Liquid Filled Bump On Knee

Hello, I have this pain in my knee and I went to the doctor about a month ago and they drained it, it was an abscense, with cellulitis in my leg. But now my knee is starting to hurt again, not near as much but I tried to squeeze it and nasty stuff came out of it.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

This may mean that the abscess has recurred.

This is a possible complication of an abscess. It would be best to see your doctor for assessment which would include examination and likely incision and drainage of the area.

A course of antibiotics may also be needed as well.

I hope this helps
