hi there.
1. your concern may be plaque psoriasis.
2. you can try xerina moisturiser, twice daily.
3. avoid trauma to knee joints and avoid pressure bearing activities.
4. avoid any addictions.
5. if you find good results with xerina, continue it as long as you wish, its a mild non striodal moistuirser.
hope this will help you.
