What Causes Itchy Rash On Back Of Knee?
About three weeks ago I bruised the area on the back of my knee. It featured a large knot and severe black and blue bruising. After a week or so the knot became smaller but the black and blue mark transitioned into a large itchy rash that hasn't gone away. I have used triple antibiotic ointment on it and hydrocortisone along with other itch medications to no avail. Any guess on what is going on here?

Hi,
I feel that the rash could be due to application of powerful medications which could have damaged the skin. I strongly recommend you to stop all these medications and to consult your Dermatologist to get proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
