Suggest Treatment For Redness And Pain In The Knee
My relative who is a 48 yr old female occasionally has an area of redness completely covering her patella and around her knee, very warm to touch, not painful, and not all the way around come up. This happens to both knees at the same time. The other skin is cool to the touch. Any ideas?
