A member asked:
My knuckles are dark and so is the skin around my cuticles i am black, how to treat/lighten it?

It's common in dark skin people. Contraceptive may worsen it but you are young so you are probably not taking. Home remedies for a trial: make a paste with baking soda, apply to the areas for 10 -15 minutes or apply lemon juice to the areas everyday.
