Got Rashes And Blisters On Knee. Why Are They Red? Why Do They Itch?

I got rashes (sort of small blisters) on my both knees. I can t recall when and why i got them. My signs and symptoms are itchiness and redness. They seem to be alleviated during cold weather and aggravated during activities, when i sweat a lot in that region, as well as when i wear long pants. I think they are irritated by those things. I got quadriderm ointment to treat them. Can I ask what are those rashes called? and is quadriderm effective enough to cure them? thanks!

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
After reading your history it appears that you might have developed allergic dermatitis to some contact allergen or due to cold. I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. You can apply an steroid cream such as cortisone cream. If itching is present then can take benadryl accordingly. Apply a plenty of moisturizers over the affected area. If these increase the n consult a dermatologist for higher treatment.
