What Does A Rash Behind The Knee Indicate?
I have a place behind my knee that once or twice a year for the past few years will get irritated like a rash about the size of a quarter. I usually put Neosporin on it and it will get real red an then it will go away after about a week. I have a new grandbaby and would not want to expose her to anything harmful.
