A member asked:

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?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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 :)
