What Is The Treatment For Itching In Left Knee Which Worsens After Getting Contact Into Certain Fabrics?
The side of my left knee is itchy especially when it comes in contact with certain fabrics. The itch is on the outside of the knee on the skin and it does not appear to come from within the joint. There is no redness. I do not have any health issues.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
You have a sensitive skin. Apply a moisturizer after bath routinely which will maintain the barrier function of the skin. Hydrocortisone cream can be applied over the itchy areas twice a day. Cotton fabrics have the least irritant potential.
Hope this helped.
Take care
