Hi. I am having an issue with my elbows. They look dirty. I scrub all the tine. Now the darkness n dryness is past elbow up arm couple inches. What can I do? Maybe scrubbing too much? Use stone sometimes then skin gets red and sensitive but no change
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand from your query that you are having problems with dark and rough elbows. Please stop scrubbing the area. Scrubbing, especially with a stone causes friction and increases the skin thickening. Use a good moisturizer containing scalene, urea and lactic acid every 4 hours. Keep your elbows off the table while you are working. Do not rest them on the desk. This will avoid friction. Use a cream containing 6-12% Glycolic acid at bedtime. This will cause mild peeling off of the thick skin and improve the appearance. Hope this helps you. Take care.
