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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allCan I use Candid B cream for my 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter's small ringworm on her back and face? Is it safe, or should I try using fusidic cream instead? I'm just worried and want to make sure it's okay.
Don't use Candid B cream or Fusidic cream without consulting a pediatrician. For ringworm, a pediatrician may recommend antifungal creams like clotrimazole or miconazole. Consult a pediatrician to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best treatment option for your child.

I've been dealing with what looks like a ringworm on my cheeks. I'm really worried it's a fungal infection. I'm wondering if it's safe to use Candid B cream on my face for this. Can you advise if that's a good idea?
Yes, you can apply Candid B cream on your cheeks for fungal infection like ringworm. Apply a thin layer of Candid B cream twice a day on the affected area after cleaning and drying it. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream.
