How to get rid of black skin? - #12127
I am dealing with something that’s been really bothering me. Over the last year or so, I've noticed these dark patches on my skin, especially on my elbows and knees. I first thought it was just dry skin or something like that, but it seems to be getting worse. My friend mentioned it could be a sign of something more serious, and now I’m super worried. I’ve tried scrubbing harder and using different lotions, but nothing seems to work. I want to know how to get rid of black skin spots — is there something specific I should be doing? I've even looked up remedies online, but I just get more confused. I've heard that exfoliation can help? Should I go for stronger products instead? Also, are there natural solutions that actually work, or is that just a myth? Some people say it could be related to my diet or hormone levels. Should I add any particular foods to my meals? My doctor didn’t seem too concerned, but I just can't shake off this feeling like I should be doing something more aggressive to treat these black skin areas. Any advice from you all would be greatly appreciated!
