Hi,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM .I studied your query in depth.I feel concerned about it.In my opinion your hard lump at incision point is -keloid / and or /chronic cellulitis with abscess -at incision point of surgery done 1 yr back-as it hurts on touch.I would advise you to consult the knee surgeon whou- would treat it with -antibiotics and NSAIDs with pus smear study-if its chronic cellulitis /and or/ with Injection kenacort in multiple sittings-if its proved to be keloid by -USG/Excision biopsy.Hope you would recover fast with these health tips.Please contact again and I would love to attend your queries promptly.Have a good time.
