What is elbow skin called?

The skin on the elbow is thicker and more rough compared to other areas of the body due to the continuous rubbing and pressure it faces from everyday movements. This can make the skin on the elbows prone to dryness, roughness, and darkening over time.

Additionally, the skin on the elbows may have more prominent wrinkles and creases because it is a joint that is constantly bending and stretching. This can also make the skin on the elbows more susceptible to conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Regular exfoliation, moisturizing, and sun protection can help keep the skin on the elbows healthy and smooth. In some cases, using special creams or treatments specifically designed for the elbows can help improve the appearance of rough, dry skin.
