I'm a 22 medically free female, i suffer from dark knees, elbows, buttocks, whenever i have a wound it heals with hyper-pigmentation, what's wrong?!?

Hyperpigmentation: All humans who get wounds find that the color and texture of the new skin can be different than they are used to. Over time as the new or healed skin matures it's color often begins to match the old skin naturally. This does not sound like a disease or condition to worry about.

Hyperpigmentation: You may have a condition known as acanthosis nigrans. Talk to your gynacologist about your condition and also see a dermatologist.
