Suggest Treatment For Dark Knees

My knees have become very dark colored - they look like I ve got mud on them (I m Caucasian). They do not looked bruised, just dirty. No other bruises on my body and no symptoms. I have not been doing anything on my knees, such as gardening or laying floor tile.

Hello,

You can use any skin whitening & brightening gel creme with SPF-25, it is quite effective. Avoid exposure in sunlight.

Herbal remedies which help to lighten your skin colour is to apply a mix of lemon & honey on a regular basis leave it for 1-2 hours & then rinse. Repeat this 2-3 times a day.

You can also apply a mixture of milk & turmeric. Coconut oil & olive oil. Application of a mix of yogurt & vinegar also works well when applied on a regular basis.

If you want you can consult a dermatologist for skin lightening with the help of chemical peels & laser treatment but they may have some side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
