Exfoliation is not the problem here. You need to bleach the knees as gently as you can. The best way is to first try putting fresh lemon on the knees. I would even take medical tape and tape slices onto my knees while I slept. You would need to do this daily for a fair amount of time since the bleaching process will be slow. Short of this, if I really had a situation that couldn't be resolved naturally I'd consider taking a paper towel wet with chlorine bleach and letting it sit on my knees for awhile on a daily basis until the darkness was gone. Not highly suggested, but it would probably work.
Any dermatologist can also safely bleach your skin.Consider seeing a dermatologist first.

Tips 1:
Rub with limejuice, leave for10-15 minutes. Soak a towel in hot water and scrub firmly.
Tips 2:
Mix 1 tspn coconut oil with ½ a tspn of limejuice. Apply and wash in the same way with a hot towel.
This is a homemade remedy that will really work. It is really no big deal to have dark patches, just exfoliate, and wear sunscreen on that specific area. Eventually it will lighten up. But remember, your knees are SUPPOSED to be darker than the rest of your leg. That is normal.

The problem MIGHT be corrected using a pumice stone after a shower while the skin is still soft, lots of cream and maybe even an over the counter skin lightener cream. This is what I did. And it worked.

I have the same problem...Nothing will help unless you might want to try skin bleach (found in beauty stores). Kinda like the ones women use for face hair.

slice a papaya in half and put each half on your knees, the acids exfolliate your skin. Also works for elbows.
