Do you wonder about the causes of dark knuckles? The darker pigmentation of your knuckles may be due to genes or it may be a reaction to a drug you’re taking, such as an oral contraceptive, a strong corticosteroid, or niacin.
Darker skin on your knuckles has also been traced to an underlying condition that needs to be treated, such as diabetes.
Anyone at any age can develop dark knuckles. But they occur more frequently in people with darker skin pigmentation.
These home remedies treat dark knuckles:
1. Baking soda mixed with water into a paste and applied to your knuckles for 15 to 20 minutes
2. Lemon juice applied to your knuckles with a cotton ball daily
Moreso, it is advisable to keep your knuckles and hands moisturized year-round. Also make sure to use sunscreen when you are outside, even if your skin is naturally dark.
Although moisturizer and sunscreen won’t lighten your knuckles, they can help prevent damage and irritation from the sun, cold weather, chemicals, and hot water.
