What Causes Dry Skin And Itchiness On The Knees?

Hello, I am a 46 yr. old female, 5'8", 200lbs. The last week or so I have bouts with my legs from the knees down being very itchy, like dry skin. Sometimes the bumps look skin colored until I scratch or are red. It sometimes calms on its own or hydrocortisone cream helps. Benadryl/ Claritin has also helped, but it comes back in a few days. Any ideas?
