I googled Bakers cyst. A scan shows it up as sometimes it's diagnosed as one but a scan will confirm. It could be inflammation from the front of the knee that feels like a cyst but isn't. Antiinflamatories are the treatment. Privately you can have injections and drainage and if it reoccurs too often the area can be operated on.

Yes and unfortunately the NHS are seemly unwilling to treat it. Have you Googled it to find the options.
