⚽ 4️⃣ Bursitis (If the Bump Is Large and Painful)
If there’s a larger, swollen bump that’s tender to touch and right over the kneecap, it could be bursitis — inflammation of the fluid-filled sac that cushions your knee joint.
This can happen due to kneeling too long, sports injuries, or repetitive strain.
Tip: Rest, use ice packs, and see a healthcare provider if swelling persists.
🌸 5️⃣ Allergic or Skin Reaction
Sometimes, raised bumps can appear after contact with soaps, lotions, or fabrics that irritate your skin. They usually go away after a few days once you stop using the irritant.
⚕️ When to See a Doctor
If your bumps are:
- Painful or growing quickly
- Warm to touch or oozing fluid
- Accompanied by fever or swelling
…it’s best to consult a dermatologist or healthcare provider to rule out infection or other conditions.
💬 Final Thoughts
In most cases, raised bumps near your knees are nothing serious — just your skin reacting or adjusting. Keep the area clean, moisturized, and avoid picking or scratching. Your skin can heal beautifully with a little care and patience. 🌿
