Hi,

I understand that you do not want hair over your knuckle, before that let me see you that having hair on knuckles is absolutely normal. But however for cosmetic purposes you want to get rid of it, there are certain methods.

1) Temporary:

- hair removal cremes can be applied, shaving is not suggestive at that site
- monthly repetitions are required
- less expensive and no expert supervision required.

2) Permanent:

- laser hair removal technique, it is expensive though.

Kindly do not try any quick methods out of anxiety, they will sometimes prove disastrous.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
