What Causes Rash On Knees And Legs?
Hello,
I have had CLL for 9 years and am in stage 0 presently. My white count is up to about 52,000. I did have shingles a couple of years ago and am just getting over a bad case of stomach flu which my grand daughter brought home from day care. I have not been sick for 2 years and that took 6 days to get over. My main question is about the red rash I keep getting all around my knees on both legs. It itches and I found it went away for awhile when I changed laundry detergent. What can this rash be when I thought I got rid of it? I am going in to see my oncologist on Oct. 30. This rash is puzzling to me and I wondered if it has to do with the CLL? YYYY@YYYY Thanks.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to contact dermatitis due to the new detergent.
I suggest using Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the symptoms.
I also suggest using Calamine lotion for local application.
I recommend to chage the detergent.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
