Genuphobia- Fear of Knees
The fears of knees, seeing others' knees, or kneeling. Some people who derive from this fear acquire it because they were forced to wear clothes that covered their knees; sometimes their parents or siblings would do the same. Those people ended up thinking that their knees were ugly or thinking that other people's knees were ugly. They get symptoms like hyperventilation or heart palpitations to dry mouths and trembling.

I wonder what the name for the irrational fear of yogurt is. Whatever the name might be, I know someone afflicted with the phobia.
