What Causes Red Rash Below Knee?
Over a week ago I developed a very red rash below my knee including my feet. My Doctor prescribed Triamcinolone cream. I also feel like my body is fighting something? Hives? I m a healthy 62 year old, rarely go to the Dr. But I am getting concerned that it is going on two weeks. Thank you so much! Nik

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have contact allergic dermatitis. You may apply steroid cream on the lesions. And you may take antihistaminics and steroids in tapering dose. Avoid contact with suspected allergens. Do not take soap bath. If needed consult the dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,
I have gone through your complaints and there are few possibilities:
either pigmented purpuric dermatosis or small vessel vasculitis.
It can occur as a reaction to infection, drugs and sometimes without any cause.
