Dry Skin On Knees

[dsvd]

Have dry skin on my knees in the last couple of years. Have been moistening with water. What could this be ?

Thank you

[ummmm]

Try Sudocrem.

Is it itchy?
Is it salmon coloured?
If you scratch it......are there silvery scales?

[ummmm]

Sqad...are you suggesting psoriasis?

[Sqad]

No, Eczema.

[Sqad]

But depending upon the answers....psoriasis may be a good shout.

[ummmm]

I thought Eczema appeared mainly on the inside of arms and knees. Obviously not in severe cases.

[Sqad]

You are correct......it does......but it can also appear on the knees.
Pre-patellar eczema.

[ummmm]

Sqad...I suffered with psoriasis for most of my teenage years. The worst parts were my knees and elbows.

I hope dsvd isn't suffering the same.

[Sqad]

Yes......it takes many forms, but when dsvd comes back we can ask him if it has affected other parts of the body.
I think, at the moment, that your suggestion is better than mine.
