Suggest Treatment For Red Lump Behind The Knee

I have a hard pimple like red lump behind my knee. It hurts a lot even when I m not moving. I cannot straighten or bend my leg. It s slightly on the right side of the inside. I ve tried using ice packs, even used an antibiotic cream, but it s still there. I noticed ot about two days ago when it appeared out of nowhere.
