Accepted Answer

Agree and...: You don't give us much information but is it small sandpaper "goosebumps"? If so, may be keratosis pilaris which is famous for coming back again & again. This rash is caused by keratin plugs in  hair follicles and is worse in winter & in those with dry skin, eczema. When you see the doctor, they would treat it with retin a, or cream with vitamin d, urea, lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid.

Accepted Answer

Keratosis Pilaris: If it has been there for years, then it is usually keratosis   if it is new then it could be one of many other things.  If chronic, try a moisturizing cream twice a day with a mild acid in it, like eucerin plus.  There are other keratolytic creams and lotions that will help, but there is no cure for keratosis pilaris.

burning rash on back of leg near joint (near back of knee). it hurts to walk and hurts when i touch it?
