Skin discoloration

My elbows are a darker color, I’ve scrubbed, I’ve used fade lotions, I’ve tried every home remedy. It’s not dry caked on skin it’s just a pigmentation discoloration- to clarify.

Did this go away after weight loss? Hoping it does because it only appeared after weight gain [emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]

Do you have PCOS? With that you get pigmentation in the dangest places, like the inside surface of your thighs. Old mother's remedy- lemon juice. Cut [emoji522] in half across its fat little middle, that way you have 2 halves.You can squeeze most of the juice out if you want and set it aside to make lemonade. Now put your elbows in skwooshed lemon halves, leave them there for say a half hour. Might have to repeat for several days but lemon juice is a lightly bleaching substance and it should work. You'll smell good, when you're thru with them put them down the garbage disposal and grind them up. Should freshen your blades up and make kitchen smell nice. You are welcome![emoji14]
