Dark Elbow Dilemma

2026-02-01 21:50:51
I have recently noticed my left elbow is slightly darker than my right one and it could be due to friction. I have gotten 3/4 yellow chemical peels done and have seen decent results. Suggest me some cream which can fasten the process. I put sunscreen and moisturiser everyday on my elbows. Thank you

Hey there young lady ... Glad that 2-3 peels appear to have helped you. Clear pics of the elbow before and post such peels will be appreciated as a "current condition" pic at the moment to help suggest you an appropriate cream to sort this issue. While it is good to use a moisturizer on the area as also a sunscreen, do consider using one that may help combine both in one. Happy to recommend a name that's cheap and effective. Since you have spent so much on 3 peels, surely it will be prudent to connect directly via an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation on this App or others like Apollo 24/7, Doconline etc Godspeed 🙏
