Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching sensation in underarms, knees and elbows which is mainly due to increased susceptibility of your body getting infected and clogging of skin pores, stress and dehydration. It could be due to poor hygiene, hair follicle infection and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid exposure to oily, greasy and sharp food substances. Drink plenty of water. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on scars. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Wash your skin 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your skin.Take diet rich in vitamin E.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
