How To Treat Lumps On The Knees?
Hi I have started getting these blotchy spots by my knees. around the white spots are like red lines, and when u press the skin it is like dimply, and there are bumps. I am 26 years old. I am about 1.65 metres and weigh 65kg. I have endometriosis and was on the yasmine pill. I have had my appendix removed, and I have had an ovarian cyst removed. I have psoriasis. I have been in and out of hospital over the past years with stomach problems - ulcers, hernia. I use biostrath muti-vitamin and a zinc tablet daily. I use Loratadinf and beclate for my allergies.

Hi! thanks for writing to us sharing your health problem in details!
After going through your detailed medical, surgical and treatment history, I would like to give stress upon the point 'when u press the skin it is like dimply, and there are bumps..' which means nothing but skin edema and possibly some infection/pus formation in the region...!
Therefore, I would like to consider few possibilities here like:
1. type of psoriasis could be pustular psoriasis
2. skin edema could be related to ovarian pathology or treatments
3. psoriatic arthritis
4. skin infection
Therefore, you need to see a dermatologist for a detailed examination and possibly a skin biopsy if necessary for confirmation then to discuss the line of treatment;
Regards,
