What is the red itchy rash below the bump of my knee?
Patient: I fell hard on my leg, just beneath my knee. This happened just over two weeks ago. I had a lump and bruising around the bump. Coloring is gone, but the area is still sore. A new symptom is a red itchy rash below the bump. What would cause it and should I be concerned? Doctor: Hello,  Since you mentioned you had a fall this could be just a muscle and skin tissue injury and nothing major. Using hot water fermentation and gentle massage will help to heal the bruises and soreness. Itching is because there is a tissue healing in the skin level so don't worry for it. You can apply some Vaseline or any moisturizer which will help you feel relief. You should be fine and there is no major injury incurred.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
