What Causes Sudden Redness In Knees?
Hello, I am 25 years old and suddenly my knees will turn bright red and get really hot to the touch. They recently started doing this. It will last for a few hours then go back to normal. What would cause this if there has been no injury to the knees?

Hello,
Possible causes like arthritis must be ruled out. Basic investigations like blood routine and CRP are required to make a diagnosis.
An ultrasound scan is required to look for any fluid collection inside the joint cavity.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, antibiotics may be required. Consult an orthopedic for an expert opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
