Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
See, in dermatological problems, it takes some time before the medication starts to work. So I guess you should continue with it. And aloe vera is a cream which is proved to work wonders to dry skin. Regular use is generally associated with much improvement in dry and scaly or flaky skin. I suggest you to apply both at some gap. Get aloe vera cream with vit E extract. It has antioxidant property.
Hope this was useful.
Regards
