    Red bumps on my knee!
    Hi, I am a 14 year old boy. I have these red dotes all over my left leg and nowhere else on my body. They suddently came out of nowhere and they grow by the day. Its almost as it hives or poision ivy. They are very itchy. I thought it was mites from my dogs but I cleaned my bed and got new sheets and still I get more by the day. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to do or how to cure them? Thank you!:)

    By the way. I have a fairly big size cut which formed into a scab on my knee. The dotes seem to be surrounding it, please help me!!

    Sounds like it could be poison ivy or poison sumac. Try making a paste of salt and liquid soap and putting that on for about 20 minutes and then washing it off. I had poison ivy and did the salt and liquid soap trick and it stopped itching and went away and stopped spreading. You could also take a warm bath with about a cup of salt added also to help relieve the symptoms.
