What Causes Dark Discoloration On The Knuckles?
I have recently notice what looks like a darker tan on the knuckles of my hands, particularly the first middle knuckle of my left hand. I am 30 years old with no diabetes in my immediate family. I have a 5 month old baby and am still breastfeeding--I wonder if the hormones could be a possible cause?

Hello,
We have to rule out possible causes like Vitamin B12 deficiency as it can cause similar signs. Consult a physician and get evaluated. A detailed evaluation is required.
