Black knee
 
Am I the only one or does anyone else get it and is there a cure?

What the heck are you talking about ?

I get it when kneeling in the garden pruning the roses.

Need some more details.

Have you tried washing with soapy water?

tagaproject6 08-20-11 02:33 PM

Knee pads and a clean floor. Or you could just say "no"!

...and you know that your boss can't really force you to do that, right? You may want to speak to a lawyer :thumb:

my knees are four shades darker than the rest of my leg. looks like someone dipped me in paint up to about 3 inches above my knee. My family think it is the funniest thing they have ever seen

Maybe your knees get more direct sun than the rest of your legs?

anthony 555 08-20-11 02:40 PM

I know but it sure looks funny. Tried using sun block and it is just getting worse. the 100 degree temps and horrible sun is about to kill me though

Are you wearing a knee brace with holes cut out right at the knee?

Joemess 08-20-11 02:48 PM

Wear it with pride!


Or, if you are in a really snarky mood just point back at them and say {insert body part / condition** is the funniest thing you have ever seen....

Yea that happens with sun and all....Do you also have white gloves without wearing any?

Unless your knee is like this you don't have a major issue

http://youtu.be/TVbqKOYBh5I Try a higher SPF or sunblock with zinc.

Depends on your ethnicity?
