Dark Elbow and Knee Area

WHY IS SKIN DARKER ON THE ELBOW AND KNEES?

Dark skin on the knees and elbows is a common occurrence. It can affect individuals of all skin types, though it often occurs in people with darker skin tones. That’s because darker skin is more likely to overproduce melanin.

There may be several causes of dark skin on knees, elbows, and other joints. These include:

• accumulation of dead skin cells
• friction
• sun exposure
• certain skin conditions, such as eczema
• post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

In some cases, dryness can accompany dark knees. This can accentuate hyperpigmentation.

Dark knees aren’t harmful, so it’s not necessary to treat them. But it may be possible to reduce their appearance with home remedies.

Skin Whitening Treatment

The dark body parts often naturally exist. The darkening of a body part can results due to some other reason as well. No matter what the reason behind the dark body parts is, we have options to brighten or whiten them. Whitening has now become a major concern for people around the world. It is especially a major concern for the people living in warm weather conditions. In warm countries, people often wear sleeveless clothes. That is why they are afraid of exposing their underarms if they are dark.
