how to remove knee darkness - #21627

Siddharth

I am dealing with some really frustrating knee darkness that just won’t go away. A few months back, I started noticing that the skin around my knees was getting darker. Like, it’s not just a little shadow, it looks different and it kinda makes me self conscious. I haven’t changed my skincare routine or anything but sometimes I think I’ve been sitting cross-legged way too much, but idk if that would even cause this? I even tried scrubbing the area with my usual body wash, but it seems like nothing is helping. Friends have told me it could be dry skin or something. Does anyone know how to remove knee darkness? Like, are there special creams or exfoliants I should be using? I read somewhere that some people recommend natural remedies too, but I am skeptical. I don’t want to just make it worse you know? The darkness isn’t itching or peeling or anything, it’s just this odd discoloration. Also, should I be seen a dermatologist or is it not a big deal? I’ve got kinda oily skin everywhere else so the contrast is just too much sometimes. Anyway, how to remove knee darkness seems like such a simple question, but I feel a little lost, any suggestions would be awesome!
