Suggest Remedy For Raised Bumps Below Kneecaps
I have had a raised bump on both shins, just below the kneecap. No pain. They ve been there ever since I can remember. There also seems to be calloused skin on the surface. I am 62 yrs old, 4 ft 11 tall. Someone once jokingly told me I have washer woman s knees. At this point in my life I d just like to know what it is if anything?

Hi,
It may be callosity. You consult the dermatologist to have perfect diagnosis.
I would suggest...
- keratolytic oint like salicylic acid oint 12% ...apply twice a day on the bumps
- orally..vitamin A and vitamin E cap daily for long time
Continue this treatment for few months.
Hope for the best result.
Thanks.
