Hi,

You may be having xerosis..dry skin. There may be some cause. The condition may be hereditary. Small dots on face may be freckles. That may be exacerbated by sun exposure. Your doctor has prescribed sun screen lotion. It may be alright. You continue to apply it. You may apply in evening also. If the skin become oily after applying elovera..its ok. As you have dry skin, it will be fine to use it. You avoid soap bath,as it might exacerbate your dry skin. You take food containing vitamin A and vitamin C...like carrot,papaya,lemon,orange..etc. Apply kojic acid containing cream on face to fade the freckles. You may feel better after few
months. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
