Suggest Treatment For Itching In The Knee
I have a red line that gies across the back of my knee. My knee feels a bit itchy. Sometimes it feels like a burning sensation as if the skin is broken. I checked and nothing but the single red line are there. Only one leg has the burn although both have the line

Hi,
By what you say I feel that it should be a growth line which is causing you some irritation or the other possibility is that it could be an allergic reaction or urticaria.
As of now, you can apply some topical emollients and take Benadryl and see for the response.
But please do remember that skin conditions are best diagnosed and treated after seeing them, so I would suggest that you upload an image here and get back to us, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
