Hi all,

Curious if anyone here has experienced these bumps in a similar location -- I have this painful cluster of bumps located behind my knee. I have included a photo of them when first noticed on Saturday, they were quite itchy here.

I also have posted an updated photo from yesterday, now they feel quite painful.

Google hasn't given me many answers, and I do not feel like taking a trip to the dermatologist if it happens to just be from sweating or something that will clear itself.

I appreciate any and all insight! imageimage

    It may be just an insect bite, or it could be shingles or indeed lots of other things really. You could try taking an anti histamine one per day, but if you start to feel ill or the rash spreads you need to get a doctors opinion.

    Are you sensitive to Gluten?

    Since it is behind the knees it might be due to heat and sweat or some allergy. Just keep the area clean and dry for some time, maybe one or two days. It should subside. If not, you might have to take that dreaded trip to the dermatologist.
