What Causes Rash Below The Knee?
I have a small bite just below my knee with a square-ish rash that has formed around it. The itch is mild. Not sure when it happened - maybe a day or two ago. We are in Northern California and have been hiking recently, but I ve worn long pants everyday. Any thoughts?

Hi
According to your complaints it could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
Apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 5-7 days.
