Is there any way to improve elbow pigmentation?

My skin isn't originally white or clear.

To put it nicely, it was a healthy-looking bronze color, but to put it badly, it was always a bit dark.

Maybe that's why I have a lot of dead skin cells and get pigmentation easily, so I think I've always had a complex about it since I was young and didn't know much about it.

 

I try my best to cover up the parts that can be covered with clothes, but the problem is my elbows.

Since my elbows are exposed in the summer, I get so stressed out.

Even in the middle of summer, I try to cover up as much as possible by wearing a long sleeve shirt or short sleeves, but I can't put my arms down because I'm afraid people coming from behind might look at me, so I always walk around bent over. In the middle of summer, my arms hurt and I'm always sweaty, to the point where I get heat rash.

 

So when I meet people in the summer, I wear long sleeves instead of short sleeves, but then people around me ask me if it's not hot and why I'm wearing long sleeves, and I have to keep telling them so many things that it's killing me.

It's so hot I'm dying, but I think it's better to choose the hot side than to be embarrassed and wear short sleeves. As I worry about this and that, I become more and more reluctant to meet people and gradually stop making plans.

 

My biggest concern is pigmentation on my elbows.

And there is also pigmentation on the knees, behind the knees, under the armpits, inside the thighs, and around the mouth.

A friend of mine once asked me in front of him why the corners of his mouth were so dark, and I was so embarrassed that I wanted to go into the ground.

I don't think I'll ever forget that shame.

If you look it up, there are cream-like products and laser treatments, but has anyone tried them or received the treatment themselves?

There are so many different types of lasers that I can't even tell the difference between them.

Or would something like folk remedies be effective?

There are many methods for whitening the face, but it would be difficult to improve pigmentation with folk remedies, right?

 

Someone told me to try it because they bought it at a Japanese pharmacy, so I tried it every day for about two months, but I don't think two months was long enough and it didn't seem to have improved much.

I'm worried that people will think I'm unkempt and have dirty habits because I'm a grown woman walking around with dark elbows, and I'm also scared that people will gossip behind my back, so I'm cowering in many ways.

 

If you have ever had laser treatment or know of any way to improve it, please give me some advice.

      전 너무 창피해서 여름이 제일 싫어하는 계절이예요
      반팔도 거의 산적이 없고 늘 7부티 정도 사는데 옷 입을때마다 스트레스가 이만저만이 아니네요

      다른 사람들 앞에서 걸어가면 저는 팔꿈치만 보거든요
      실제로 뒤에서 수군거리는지 알길은 없지만 자격지심이죠 뭐

    팔꿈치는 거의 포기한 것 중에 하나가 아닌가 생각됩니다 저건 어떻게 해도 안 되더라고요 이제 병원 치료를 하시면 나아질 거고 궁금할 정도입니다

      광고는 많이 나오는데 오래된 색소침착은 힘든가봐요
      초기 정도면 어떻게 나아지기도 할 것 같은데 제 경우는 너무 오래되서 가능할지 저도 반신반의네요
      딱히 뭐 한것도 없는데 저렇게 자꾸 색소침착이 되는지 모르겠어요

      오래된 색소침착은 치료방법이 없나봐요
      레이저 치료 같은거 많던데 정확히 뭘로 어떻게 됐다 이런건 잘 안 보이더라구요
      크림은 과장 광고 같아 보이구요

    저도 완전 공감합니다
    저의 팔꿈치도 완전 시꺼멓거든요
    노출의 계절만 되면 정말 신경이 쓰여요 ㅜㅜ
    이거 정말 본인의 잘못일까 궁금해 질 정도예요
    제가 뭘 잘못한 것도 아닌데 꼭 무슨 때가 앉은거 같아서요 ㅠ

    민간요법인데 젊을때 예전에 귤껍질의 즙으로 닦아서  팔꿈치의 색소침착을 제거 한적이 있어요  과학적인 원리는 모르겠는데 이무튼색소침착은 해결한적이 있어요

    위로 드리자면 사람들은 생각보다 나한테 그렇게 관심없다는 말 있잖아요 그리고 수군거릴까 무섭고 움츠리기까지 하는 정도면 팔꿈치 시술이 아니라 심리상담이나 마인드 강화가 더 필요한 거 같네요

    팔꿈치 색소침착 저도 고민인데요
    팔꿈치는 수시로 어디 닿아 자극이 되니까 착색이 잘 되는거 같아요 
    이곳에 멜라닌 색소가 많이 쌓여서 어둡게 보인다고 하네요
    자극을 줄여주시고 미백크림은 안바르는거 보다는 좋을거 같아요 
    멜라리턴 시술 등으로 색소 침착을 개선할 수도 있다네요 
    보습도 잘해주시구요 
    시술 등으로 좀 밝게 되더라고 생활속에서 자극이 심해지면 색소침착은 또 일어날 수 있으니 자극을 줄이는게 좋겠어요
