What Can Cause Black Colour In The Joints Of Hands
Hello Doctor, I have a black in the joints of my hands and knees and also under the nails and I expect that this is caused by the atmosphere that we have because most girls in my country suffer from it, and I have tried many creams, but there is no benefit, what's the solution?

HI THANKS FOR POSTING YOUR QUERY ON HEALTH CARE MAGIC.
THIS BLACKENING OF JOINTS IS DUE TO "OCHRONOTIC ARTHRITIS" in my opinion.
THIS IS AN ENZYME DEFICIENCY AND DUE TO ELEVATED LEVELS OF HOMOGENTISIC ACID.
I SUGGEST YOU TO GET TESTED FOR THIS METABOLITE.
CONSULT AN EXPERT RHEUMATOLOGIST FOR FURTHER QUERIES,
THANK YOU,
TAKE CARE
