Elbows and other joints may become black due to Acanthosis Nigricans . This is a condition where your skin​ folds like underarms, neck and face and also joints becomes dark. it happens due to sedantry lifestyle and or overweight. This can be treated. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper diagnosis, treatment advice and prescription.
