A few months ago I was skateboarding and fell off and grazed my knee. This has left me with a darker discoloration where the scab was, which seemed normal so I didnt worry about it, but about 2 weeks ago two little lumps appeared on it and were quite itchy. Now there are 6+. Do you have any idea what these are? They look slightly like mosquitto bites but theyre not going away and multiplying.. Thankyou
Hi, thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor virtual-CLINIC.-In my opinion-You are suffering -mostly from-knee abrasion with scab in the beginning,- which developed later on in 2-6 lumps-with underneath wound infection, presenting with itching.-Multiplication of these itchy lumps may be due to associated Ringworm which developed underneath the scab-this could also be thought of as one of the possibility while treating it.-Consult your family doctor / and skin doctor and investigate to fix the cause of it.-Remedy-Would be with --Tb-NSAID-for 5 days time-Antibiotic with advise from your family doctor for 5 days time.-ketoconazole point locally with good wound care would resolve your knee lump.-If no reduction then review the diagnosis with Surgeons consultation who-would do debridement of the wound and change the antibiotic and would take the care of the knee wound with scab properly.-Hope this would help to resolve your knee-itchy- lump by discussing with your doctor. Wishing you fast-recovery. Wellcome to my Chat Doctor Clinic again. Good night.
