tq. very much for your prompt reply sir. skin is normal only itchy feeling and it is long standing problem. my general md doctor who treats me for diabetics,my homeo docotor told to apply coconut oil may be to avoid dry skin effect but i am not getting any permannet solution. i.e why i put my problem here. any helath supplements like ALA any other thing to cure. some where i read ALA may give relief for skin also in addition some knee pains,nerve pains etc.

Yeast infection and dry skin may be the cause. But itching below knee occurs mostly with circulatory problems. Get throughly examined. If black hard patches behind knee , may be acanthosis nigricans.

A good homeopath definitely can treat this and you will get relief , since homeopathy is best suited for skin related issues, in comaprison to all pathys.

When you feel to scratch immediately wash the leg and dry it

Then apply coconut oil and use boric powder. Slowly the problem will subside. I use to do the same thing

go to a diabetologist. Make sure it's is not a circulation problem or you will land up in a big trouble
