Hb and vitamin b12 deficiency can be one of reason. Other than that also frictional history and eczema condition is to be ruled out. Consult online for the same for detail history, Evaluation and management.

We need to do a proper analysis of the skin and do certain investigations to find the cause of the darkening knuckles. Once the cause is known , we can start with topical as well as oral treatment. You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation
