How to lighten black knees

2026-09-04 07:27:39
My knees have become dark due to friction from exercise on the floor. How can I safely lighten the pigmentation and get back to my natural skin tone? Are there any creams or treatments you would recommend? Thankyou:)

Your Opinion: Likely frictional/post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from repeated pressure and friction. Next Steps: Avoid exercising directly on the knees; use a mat/cushion. Apply a moisturiser containing urea 10% or lactic acid daily. Azelaic acid 15–20% can be used once daily for pigmentation. Helpful Tips / Word of Caution: Avoid scrubbing, lemon, bleaching creams or excessive exfoliation. Improvement is gradual and may take several months. Kindly consult with me online for detailed evaluation and proper treatment.
