Hello,

The darkness over knees and elbows indicate chronic dysfunctioning of melanin pigment cells underneath the dermis. Thought the allopathy gives best remedies with recent advances in molecular science with nano technology, as you are not in a position to buy such things, home remedies as below will help you:
- Keep the areas clean with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Local application of calamine lotion
- Aloe vera gel, turmeric paste work as an anti oxidant and anti-microbial agents

However, any of the home remedies take a period of weeks to months for changes in skin texture and color, do not hope for speedy recovery within a week or so.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
