What Do Itching And Swelling Below The Knees Indicate?
I live in AZ for the winter. It is in the 90 s today. I walk my dog next to a wash fence every morning around 6 AM. I didn t wear sweat pants this morning...I wore cotton shorts. Came home and area below my knee started itching and swelling. It s still red and itchy and hot. What bit me?

Hello,
If there was any plant allergen or something or if something has bitten you then you will have these symptoms. Kindly, look for allergen if you could find.
For now, since you have definite allergy antihistamine tablets like levocetirizine would help you. But make sure to find out the allergen or protect yourself from full-length pants to avoid this in future.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
