To improve the dryness caused by retino-A , apply generous amount of moisturiser (any moisturiser like citaphil , aloevera gel ) to the affected area 3-4 times daily. Also use sunscreen lotion during the day time even when indoors to reduce the worsening of pigmentation
Next Steps
Consult a dermatologist (teleconsultation) to assess the severity of pigmentation and appropriate medication
