A member asked:
Grandson has pimple-like outbreak behind one knee. hard encapsulated. they are painful at times. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly boils: Hard, painful pimples suggest a localized skin infection usually caused by the bacteria staph aureus. A possible reason it is behind the knee is that your grandson may have eczema which is often behind the knee and makes one more susceptible to staph infections.
