Yes, aloe vera may help soothe the irritation, itching, and dryness associated with suspected Tinea Versicolor because it has cooling and skin-calming properties in Ayurveda. You can apply fresh aloe vera gel gently on the affected area 1–2 times daily. It may reduce: Itching and burning Dryness and flaking Skin irritation However, aloe vera alone may not completely remove the fungal imbalance. Since your itching is increasing at night and started recently, proper antifungal care and skin hygiene are also important. Keep the skin clean and dry Avoid excessive sweating and tight clothing Reduce very oily, sugary, and fermented foods Use light cotton clothes Avoid scratching to prevent further irritation
