Warmth and Redness Around the Knee
As previously mentioned, IT band syndrome causes inflammation of the joint. Therefore, many people report experiencing warmth, redness and puffiness over the IT band above the knee joint.4Fletcher, Jenna. ‘What Is Iliotibial Band Syndrome and How Is It Treated?’ Medical News Today, 29 Jan. 2018, www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320757#symptoms
Typically, these symptoms are nothing to be overly concerned about. However, warmth and redness of the skin may also be symptoms of skin infections, which may lead to complications. Therefore, it's best for anyone experiencing warmth, redness and inflammation to consult a doctor to rule out an infection and diagnose IT band syndrome.6‘Staph Infection.’ Nhs.Uk, 21 June 2021, www.nhs.uk/conditions/staphylococcal-infections
