I have 3 tiny soft peasize nodes right below my knee cap had them for some years and my skin is red in that area what could it be?

?: Hard to say without more info. Present for years--below the kneecap--maybe associated with carpet injury to the skin if you wear shorts on carpet--any kind of trauma may make symptoms worse. Please let your doctor see the area and comment. Good luck
