Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of Chat Doctor! In the present case of below-knee swelling or lump, if I were your consulting physician, I would just say you, nothing to worry! Just like your family doctor said, again! Just avoid rubbing or hitting over it as that might invite infection... As per your description, it is a benign harmless lesion like an old hematoma, a lipoma or a sebaceous cyst! If you are still worried, please get an FNAC / alike cytological examination and revert to us. Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries. Wishing you the best health!
