Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You could be having an arthritis (inflammation of joint). The rash could be a manifestation of arthritis. I advise you to report to an Orthopedician. If needed, he may refer you to a Rheumatologist or a Dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
