How to get rid of black skin - #11847

Aasha

I am really struggling with something that honestly feels so overwhelming. A while ago, I started noticing these dark patches on my skin, especially on my elbows and knees. I wasn't sure if it was just from dryness or what, but now they seem to be spreading and I'm getting really worried about it. I’ve tried so many creams and remedies I found online—stuff that says it can help lighten skin—but nothing’s working! It’s like a never-ending battle, and I keep wondering how to get rid of black skin or at least get my even tone back. I mean, I’ve tried exfoliating more often, using moisturizers, and even some over-the-counter treatments, but they either do nothing or irritate my skin. Sometimes I feel like I’m just wasting my time and money. Plus, I can’t tell if I should see a dermatologist or if this is something that can be handled from home. I am also a bit worried it could be something serious like a skin condition. Does anyone have tips on how to get rid of black skin? Has anyone dealt with something similar? What worked for you? Even just knowing I’m not alone in this would help a lot.
