Do you mean like wear marks on the areas you often bend strings & such?

Just oil the board, it's probably dry. Fret Doctor works amazing.

As you play your fretboard will develop wear marks that will either wear through the finish or just dig into the wood and catch the light at a different angle than the rest of the board. Either way there's no real fix for it, just part of the wear and tear of playing a guitar. Wear it (pardon the pun) with pride.

First take some rubbing alcohol on a rag and rub wet alcohol dipped rag vigorously on the fretboard in between each and every fret. This will remove the old dirt, dead skin, and built up oils.

2ND-- replace moisture removed from the alcohol with some mineral oil or lemon oil. A drop or two between each fret is enough. Rub it in w/ your finger, and let set for a few minutes. You'll see where the neck drinks up the oil and where the excess sits. Take a clean rag and wipe off the excess, and voila. Put on a new set of strings, and let her rip!
