19 year old male and my knee cap randomly started to feel hot to the touch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: any fever? are there skin changes where the warmth is? any rash? Was there any trauma to the area? any underlying medical problems? Would need an evaluation by a physician to determine diagnosis and next step in evaluation/treatment.
