HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Itching that results in a rash at the elbows and in the knee joints in adults may be related to eczema.
There are different types of eczema but it basically refers to inflammation/irritation of the skin.
Keeping the skin moist with the use of moisturizers is important in addition to the use of topical steroid creams.
If the itching and rash is severe you would need a strong steroid cream that would have to be prescribed by your doctor.
I hope this helps
