Itching in the feet and palms of the hands, especially at night, can be due to a condition called eczema. I recommend using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream on the affected areas before bedtime. Additionally, taking an oral antihistamine like Cetirizine 10mg at night can help alleviate the itching. Make sure to continue moisturizing regularly and avoid any potential triggers that may worsen the itching.

Skinlite is a topical steroid cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin damage, thinning, and darkening. To minimize the risk of darkening, it's essential to gradually taper off the cream and transition to alternative treatments. *Gradual Tapering* 1. *Reduce frequency*: Gradually reduce the frequency of applying Skinlite over 2-4 weeks. 2. *Decrease concentration*: If possible, switch to a lower concentration of hydroquinone (2% instead of 4%) or a different formulation. 3. *Alternate with moisturizer*: Apply a moisturizer on alternate days or nights to help your skin adjust. *Alternative Treatments* 1. *Kojic acid creams*: Kojic acid is a natural alternative to hydroquinone, which can help reduce melanin production. 2. *Niacinamide creams*: Niacinamide has been shown to improve skin hyperpigmentation and brightness. 3. *Vitamin C serums*: Vitamin C can help brighten and even out skin tone. 4. *Azelaic acid creams*: Azelaic acid has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). 5. *Natural ingredients*: Consider using natural ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, or licorice extract, which have anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties. *Sun Protection* 1. *Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Apply a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. 2. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear clothing that covers your skin, such as long-sleeved shirts and pants
