I keep struggling with acne on my face and back pretty much all year round. A friend mentioned I should try using MomateF cream. Is it safe or effective for back acne? What exactly does this cream do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Momate-F cream contains Mometasone which is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and swelling. It is primarily used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. However, it is not typically recommended for treating acne as it may not target the underlying causes of acne effectively. For acne on your back, I would recommend using a topical treatment containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. These ingredients are more effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing bacteria, and preventing new acne breakouts. You can try using Benzac AC gel on your back acne. Apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas once daily, preferably at night. Make sure to cleanse the area thoroughly before applying the gel. Remember to patch test any new product on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas to check for any adverse reactions.

I'm really struggling with a persistent fungal infection between my legs that's been bothering me for the past few months. I've tried using antifungal creams like Soframycin, Fourderm, and Betnovate N, and while they seemed to help initially, the infection always returns after a few days, especially around my private parts. Can you suggest any stronger or more effective antifungal treatments that might help clear this up for good? It's starting to really concern me.
