    You must have hit your knee on something and it caused a bruise. Use hot compresses on it and the swelling of the bruise will go down after a while. I usually always get swelled up with a bruise when they draw blood and they told me to use hot (wet) cloths on it and the bruise will go away faster. It just looks like a normal bruise to me. It's just blood spreading under the skin.
