I'm wondering if Eumosone M is okay to use for children. Are there any side effects I should be aware of? My baby has developed some red rashes around the neck, and I'm worried about what's safe to apply.
Eumosone M cream should not be used for children UNLESS prescribed by a doctor. It contains a combination of mometasone (0.1%) and miconazole which may not be suitable for pediatric use. Side effects may include skin thinning, irritation, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment of your baby's rash.
