For the last few months i've been getting sores on my knuckles and elbows. they don't hurt, and they last for weeks. what is it and is it dangerous?

Hard to say: Its difficult so say without being able to see the lesions in person! Psoriasis is notorious for causing red or silvery scales on the elbows. Dermatomyositis is a skin condition that can present with "gottrons papules" on the knuckles. Best of luck to you :)
