Suggest Treatment For Rashes On Knees And Hips
Periodically I get a rash that begins as red circles usually on the leg area between my knees and hips. The circles get bigger and spread more as time goes on. Then they begin to dry up starting with the centers and moving out. They do not itch or weep. Sometimes I will get one on other parts of my body, but it doesn t spread. My doctor and dermatologist are puzzled. The rash started again this week. Have tried all sorts of creams, but I just have to wait for the rash to go its course. Takes about 6 weeks.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of rashes on knees and hips which is very common as dirt and moisture get trapped by your clothing and the friction that comes from sitting can these symptoms.
Need not to worry. You should void touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cream containing azelaic acid , apply warm compresses with soaked towel and apply vitamin C serum at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants and antibiotics like clindamycin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
