Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itchy pimple in knee joint, Well pimples are the result of excessive production of sebum from sebaceous glands. There are many factors responsible for pimples like hormonal changes ,too much oily creams ,some medications and environmental factors. I would suggest you to use benzoyl peroxide lotion twice a day after wash your knee area with mild soap ,apply ice for 5 minutes on affected area thrice a day. Avoid sunlight exposure and use sun screen rich in SPF. You should take steam before going to bed.You can also take oral antibiotics along with it like tetracycline. If pimples persists or doesn't improve in one month ,consult dermatologist.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
