A member asked:

I have really itchy skin in the elbow fold. also my skin has darkened in the area. what can i do for the skin darkening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat the eczema: Probably eczema. Whatever it is you can treat the cause. When the itch stops then you will scratch less. When you stop scratching the skin will slowly recover a normal consistency and color. Usually this responds to a prescription steroid such as triamcinolone cream. You can try OTC hydrocortisone cream.
