What sort of skin disorder would cause knee puffiness?


A friend of mine has developed a skin disorder that looks kind of like athlete's foot on his fingers. It gets bumpy and starts to pus, and then on his knees, he has these sort of balls that stick out, like a little smaller than golf balls, covered in dry skin. He refuses to go see a doctor. Any idea what this could be or how to treat it? Thank you so much for answering.

Hi,i once knew a guy with exactly the same thing as what u have described.There is a name for it but i cannot remember.
He should go to a doctor and if need be he or she will refer u to a skin specialist.I have excema bad at times so i know the drill.
Hope this helps.
Kindest Regards.

are you a princess? sounds like he's turning into a frog.
for Real he needs to see a doctor. Gout?

Um, ewwwww. Never heard of it and I hope I never see it. He needs to see a dermotologist.

he probably needs to go see a doc. It is hard to say what it is without seeing it and without a more thorough history ... but it sounds like it could be some kind of dermatitis ... possibly eczematous dermatitis.
