Vitiligo on knees, elbows and legs: camouflage options
Knees, elbows and shins are among the most common places for vitiligo. They are also visible in shorts and short sleeves.
Stability first
Only stable patches are treated. Confirm with your dermatologist and track patches with monthly photos. See is my vitiligo stable?

Elbows and knees
Skin over joints creases and stretches. Patches there can be treated, with care to follow the borders precisely. You can see a real SKINEAV elbow result on the vitiligo page.
Real results and real moments
Shins and thighs
Often flatter, more even skin, which can make matching more predictable.

Healing
Loose clothing over joints and avoiding kneeling or leaning on elbows for the first days help an even result.
