Shiny Skin Around the Joint

Description:

Shiny skin around a joint typically indicates inflammation or fluid accumulation beneath the skin. This can be due to various joint-related conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, or an injury that leads to swelling.

Possible Causes:

• Inflammatory conditions like arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis).
• Bursitis (inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the joints).
• Joint injury or trauma leading to fluid retention.
• Infections affecting the joint area.
• Lupus or other autoimmune disorders that affect the skin and joints.

Treatment:

Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids may help reduce inflammation. Physical therapy and rest may also be recommended, depending on the severity of the condition. In some cases, joint aspiration may be needed to remove excess fluid.
