I'm really worried about these dark toe knuckles I've had for about 34 years. Last year, I tried using HALOXS ointment, and while it seemed to work initially, it only helped for a few days. Now it doesn't seem to do anything and has even made my skin color uneven. I'm really hoping for a permanent solution to this. Any advice?
