What Causes A Flesh Colored Bump On Knee Causing Pain And Burning Sensation?

Weird ? I am not sure if it has been addressed. I have a bump about 6 inches about my knee. It is flesh-colored and most of the time it is not a problem. When you touch the bump, it becomes ultra sensitive. The bump burns, like a fire has been held in the area. Also, when nervous, anxious, or even thinking about the bump, it burns intermittently. It seems to be nerve related, and the pain is a 10 when it happens. Luckily the pain subsides in a few minutes. Know what this could be? I am not diabetic.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the only possibility is some cyst or lipoma if it does not cause any pain or symptoms then it could be nonspecific, still x-ray is advisable to rule out some possibilities but this is not the sign of diabetes and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
