What Treatment Is Suggested For Scabs On Knees ?

I had scabs on my knees that resulted after falling on concrete. about a year later my left knee developed a tough itchy patch of skin that doesn t change. I try to keep it extra moisturized but that isn t helping. it isn t spreading but i m worried that it will.

Hi,

It might be a hypertrophic scar. Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated. You can opt for steroid injection for symptomatic relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
