Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. the darkening and roughness of a child's neck, elbows, and knees can be attributed to several factors. here are some common reasons:
1. friction and pressure: these areas often experience more friction and pressure due to crawling, playing, and leaning. this can lead to thickening of the skin and increased pigmentation.
2. dry skin: children's skin tends to be sensitive and prone to dryness. dry skin can appear rough and may darken over time.
3. sun exposure
4. genetics: some children naturally have darker skin in certain areas due to their genetic makeup.
5. hygiene and moisturization: proper hygiene and regular moisturization are essential. dry skin can worsen roughness and darkening.
6. obesity: in some cases, excess weight can cause friction and darkening in skin folds.
to address this, consider the following steps:
gentle cleansing: use mild cleansers to keep the skin clean without stripping natural oils.
moisturize: apply a child-friendly moisturizer to keep the skin soft and hydrated.
sun protection: limit sun exposxure and use sunscreen when necessary.
