Hello
Tenovate is clobetasol and it is not useful for your case.
For dry skin on legs and hands use "lactic acid " lotion or ointment ( lubricant / moisturiser ) . Apply twice in day till complete relief.
For black skin apply "hydroquinone+hydrocortisone+tretinoin" ointment for local application on black skin . Cover it with cloth and if possible avoid direct sun light.
Vitamin "C " also help one tablet twice in day.
Good luck.
