Suggest Treatment For Itchy Skin Rashes Behind The Knee
I m seeking assistance for some form of skin rash I have had for a long time now. It s located on the backside of my knee, and about the size of my hand in stretch length. It constantly itches and has a sort of metallic smell to it. I m a black male with light skin, and the color is darker than that of my skin tone. The texture is also more rough in comparison. Any information regarding this condition, or treatment to cure it would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to atopic dermatitis.
I recommend using antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine.
I also recommend using steroid lotion for local application.
