?irritation: Possibilities include atopic dermatitis, irritant dermatitis or possibly irritation due to friction depending on hobbies or occupation or bug bites. Although not typically limited to the joints, a condition called keratosis pilaris (excess keratin around hair follicle) is a consideration. If not resolve with moisturization or over the counter Hydrocortisone see a dermatologist.

Rash: Any skin condition is difficult to identify without seeing it or having more history. What does it look like?Is it red?Flad/raised? Etc. It could be that your knees have come into contact with something and is showing an allergic reaction. Could be eczema or psoriasis or skin rashes can sometimes be a sign of something going on internally. Best to have a doctor take a look and take a full history.
