Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness In The Knee
I was down on my knees in our house, on carpet, packing a suitcase. When I got up I started to notice my knees itching. Then they both began to swell. I took 2 Benedryl a few minutes ago in case it is an allergy. We haven t had our carpets cleaned or sprayed with anything lately. What should I do next?

Hello,
You can use a betamethasone cream twice a day on the areas that are itching. Make sure you avoid any contact with chemicals in the area and keep it clean.
You should feel better in a couple of days. If you see no improvement or if you notice any worsening, please see your doctor.
I hope this answers your query and is helpful to you. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
