why is the skin on my elbows and knees darker and thicker?


Question:
i really need your help...thanks.

Answers:
Because you are a monkey? lol It is because it is thicker and padde because these are parts of our body that have evolved to protect us.. The skin layers are thicker and it becomes easier for dirt or old skin to penetrate downward and appear darker. Also old taned skin gets caught down there as well. Try cleaning it with vsoline rubbing it with a washcloth.. Also try rubbing alcohol, this should lighten or clean it a little. Then use peroxide or a mild solution of bleech and water to bleach the skin to a lighter color

Hmm. Probably because it gets stretched and pulled and you rest your elbows on tables and kneel down on your knees.
cause they are extra skin for when you move ur arms and legs open or bended
It is normal,babe, elbows &knees skin has folds ,gets more friction so become thicker &hyper pigmented.
