I've noticed my skin tone is a bit uneven and there's a tan on my face. My dermatologist recommended I start using Demelan cream. Before this, I was using Tretinoin 0.04. Is it alright to switch between Tretinoin and Demelan cream every other night?

I'm really worried because I've been using Chymotra for a month now, hoping it would help with my hair fall, but it's only getting worse. More hair is shedding now than before I started using it. Is there something wrong with my treatment, or should I consider stopping the medication? What should I do?

I've got some hard skin that's formed on my right hand little finger, and it's making me itch constantly. Once I start scratching, it's hard to stop. I'm really not sure what's going on and it's getting kinda annoying. Could this be something serious or do you think it's just dry skin? Any advice on what I should do next would be super helpful.

If it really hard and pigmentation is seen that could be a type of psoriatic patch, avoid scratching and keep it moist, visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.

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.
