What Causes Dry Skin And Itchiness On The Knees?
Hello, I am a 46 yr. old female, 5'8", 200lbs. The last week or so I have bouts with my legs from the knees down being very itchy, like dry skin. Sometimes the bumps look skin colored until I scratch or are red. It sometimes calms on its own or hydrocortisone cream helps. Benadryl/ Claritin has also helped, but it comes back in a few days. Any ideas?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and I would say that this could be collagen type of reaction and this would come around with the time as the causative factors over the course of disease is overs and this is noting to worry, keep the medicine that you are taking, have a nice day.
