Hi,
Black spot on knee areas may be callosity. It may be due to repeated pressure and friction while playing the game. It is a benign condition and does not require any treatment.
Still, I would duggest..
- cap vitamin E 400 mg daily
- tab vitamin C 1000 mg daily
- application of salicylic acid oint at night
- application of vitamin E and alovera cream in the morn
- try to avoid pressure and friction on affected area
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
