Dear Sir
Excessive sweating in areas of skin fold like knee joint predisposes to fungal infection ( Intertrigonitis ) . This could be one of the possibility , exact diagnosis will however depend on clinical examination.
It would be very helpful if you could provide clinical photograph of affected area.
