dont know if you can help me /fit/... or if this even belongs here.

i've got hideously dark elbows and knees. i lean on my elbows constantly and i want to lighten them up

i've been moisturizing them daily after hot showers but its still hella dark (im not black) so any tips on how i can get rid of the dark spots??
im now just trying the lemon slices rub hope that works...

I have black elbows and knees, and medium brown skin. I used to be self-conscious about it, but now I don't care anymore. What bugs me more is the keratosis pilaris because I've got little brown spots all over my legs and arms like chicken skin.

But short of bleaching creams and maybe some exfoliants, I'd say you're stuck with the dark elbows and knees. Get used to it.

you can probably burn the skin off and when the new skin grows, it'll be lighter in color

stop leaning so much. seriously. i used to have dark elbows but i stopped leaning so much and they got lighter...but they sort of darken a little when i lean from time to time.
