knee darkness removal - #14206

Diya

I am dealing with this weird issue, and I really need some advice on knee darkness removal. For the past few months, I’ve noticed that the skin around my knees has gotten really dark, almost like it’s a shadow or something. It looks kinda ashy too, and I'm super self-conscious about it especially when I'm in shorts or at the gym. I tried exfoliating regularly and used some creams claiming to help with knee darkness removal, but nothing seems to work. I’m not sure if it’s just dry skin or something worse. Also, I’ve read that knee darkness removal can sometimes be related to certain medical conditions – I haven’t been sick or anything, but my diet has been a bit off (too many takeouts lately!). I also sometimes get red spots when I scratch my knees, which I don't think is helping with the darkness. Should I see a doctor, or are there home remedies you guys would recommend for knee darkness removal? Do you think any over-the-counter cream would actually make a difference? Feeling frustrated here trying to figure this out on my own, any help would be really appreciated!
