Is it alright to put on aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen? I'm worried if it might cause my skin to darken or have some other effect. Any advice on this?
Wearing aloe vera gel before applying sunscreen is generally okay, as aloe vera has soothing and moisturizing properties that can help calm the skin; however, some aloe vera products may contain aloin, a compound that can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, potentially leading to darkening or discoloration, so choose an aloin-free aloe vera gel and apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 afterwards to ensure adequate protection.

I'm really worried and could use some advice. A while back, I used this ointment called Lobate GM on my face when I had just a few pimples. I went through 2 or 3 tubes of it, hoping it would help, but my skin got way worse. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and did a treatment for six months. Now, I've still got these red marks where the pimples were and I'm not sure what to do about them. Could you give me some guidance on what might help fade these marks?
It sounds like you may be dealing with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from the acne. To help lighten the red marks left by the pimples, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone, such as Melalite cream, applied once daily at night. Additionally, using a sunscreen with high SPF during the day is important to prevent further darkening of the marks. Make sure to follow up with your skin specialist for further guidance and monitoring of your progress.
