Hello,
Reddish patch on back of knee for two years could be due to fixed drug eruption. Fixed drug eruptions can occur with any drug. However, I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical assessment and thus diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
