How To Get Rid Of Scabs On Knees?
I have this white, flaky scab like thing on my knee.
I don't recall getting any cuts there and I don't know what cause it.
I usually don't put on lotion and I thought it was because my skin is dry..
But it's just that part.
What is it and how do I get rid of it?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From your description I feel it could be psoriasis as it is a very common site. Kindly consult a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis. Please apply a moisturizing cream every day twice daily over the lesion.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
