Advice for skin patches on knees

[Lollylou40]

Hi there, can anyone offer some advice on treatment for my knees. I have brown marks on them which are making me miserable and really self conscious. People have commented on them and now I'm anxious to wear anything where they are on show. I've tried various moisturisers / using a pumice stone to exfoliate, but to no avail. I'm very fair in skin tone so it's quite obvious. Any advice very much welcome 🙏

Cut a lemon in half and rub on knees and elbows where these brown patches sometimes occur. It's a natural bleaching agent.

Dark knees and elbows result from higher level of melanin production than the other areas of the body. Sun damage, wear and tear, and friction can cause dark knees and elbows. Do not worry as this discoloration of skin is not a cause for concern or medical risk.

Thank you, I'll give that a try. I've researched so many things and tried all sorts of home remedies. I'll see if the lemon helps to lighten the area. It's definitely from friction (since having my children and crawling around with them on the floor)
