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.
