Cut a large lemon in half. Squeeze out some of the juice from both halves so that you have two hollow halves or "cups. Apply this on joint. You can rub away any excess pulp, but don't wash area for about 3 hours. Wash off the lemon juice with some warm water. Repeat this every day until the dark skin begins to fade.

Skin is mirror of internal health. Pigmentation on the elbows and foot can be due to b12 deficiency, ferritin deficiency, thyroid disorders, pre diabetes, allergic disorders etc. You need to check for it by consulting your dermatologist. Use glycolic acid and urea based creams for moisturization and mild skin lightening effect.
