Itchy Red Outer Knee After Running

Hi, I've noticed after the last couple of runs the outside of both my knees are red and itch but no pain. Does anyone know what might cause this? I have suffered with pain in the side of my knee approx a year ago from aerobics but this is weird!!!

Maybe this is the cause but they also feel slightly numb as well and I'm on week 4 and have not changed clothing I wear.

I guess I'll have to keep any eye on it and hope it's not the start of an injury.

Not what you're looking for?
