What Causes Pus Filled Sore On Knee Which Leads To Dark Red Spot?
I have a dark red circle on my face back and knee from over a year ago. The sore on my knee is about a the size of a quarter and it had puss in it. It keeps getting inflamed and red around it will end up in a sore on my face. Next, the sore will go away and it will be dark red again. Then it will repeat again.
