Can Momin Cream (Mometasone Furoate 0.1%) be applied to the face?

Asked by Female, 45 · 3 months ago

Momin Cream contains Mometasone Furoate 0.1%, a prescription corticosteroid. It can be applied to the face only under a doctor’s guidance and for a short duration of up to five days, as facial skin is delicate and prone to thinning. Avoid covering the treated areas with plasters or bandages, and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective use.

Momin Cream is generally used for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. However, whether it can be applied to the face depends on the specific formulation and your skin type.

  • Check the ingredients: Some creams contain steroids or other active ingredients that might be too strong for facial skin.
  • Consult a healthcare professional: It's best to ask a dermatologist before applying Momin Cream on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin or existing facial skin conditions.
  • Patch test: If advised to use it, do a small patch test on a less visible area to check for any adverse reactions.

Using any medicated cream on the face without proper guidance can cause irritation or other side effects, so professional advice is important.

If you experience any severe reactions or worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. For urgent concerns, you can contact Apollo Emergency at 1066.
