POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. There are a few home remedies commonly used in Indian households to lighten dark elbows and knees in children:
1. Lemon juice: Apply freshly squeezed lemon juice to the dark areas and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Lemon has bleaching properties that can help lighten the skin.
2. Turmeric paste: Mix turmeric powder with a bit of milk or yogurt to form a paste. Apply it to the dark areas and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before washing it off. Turmeric has natural skin-lightening properties.
3. Gram flour (besan) and yogurt: Make a paste using gram flour and yogurt. Apply it to the affected areas and let it dry before rinsing off with water. Gram flour helps exfoliate the skin while yogurt moisturizes it.
4. Aloe vera gel: Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the dark elbows and knees and leave it on for about 20-30 minutes before rinsing off. Aloe vera has skin-lightening and moisturizing properties.
Remember to patch-test any remedy on a small area of the skin first to ensure there are no adverse reactions, especially in children. Additionally, consistency is key when using these remedies, as it may take some time to see results. If the darkness persists or worsens, it's best to consult a dermatologist.
