Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of skin darkness and soreness above elbow which is mainly due to hematoma , folliculitis , infection or joint injury . It can also be due to pots inflammatory inflammation hyper pigmentation . I would suggest you to start with application of clindamycin gel on these areas.Apply cold compresses and wash it with cold water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your skin. You should apply topical antibacterial ointment such as 2 % betnovate. Apply vitamin E oil at night and kojic acid cream. Consult dermatologist for proper examinarion and treatment . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for bone and joint problem . Doctor may drain the hematoma or prescribe anticoagulant .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
