I'm currently using Momate cream on my face to tackle some dark spots, but I'm not sure if it's safe or effective. Could you let me know if this is a good option, or if there's another cream out there that's better for treating dark spots?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Momate cream contains mometasone, a steroid that can help reduce inflammation and itching. However, it may not be the best choice for dark spots.
For Dark Spots, Consider Alternatives
- Kojic acid cream: Helps reduce melanin production and fade dark spots.
- Hydroquinone cream: Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Retinoid cream: Promotes cell turnover, reducing appearance of dark spots.
- Vitamin C cream: Brightens skin, reduces hyperpigmentation.
- Niacinamide cream: Improves skin hyperpigmentation and brightness.

I'm 21 and I'm worried because I still don't have a proper beard or mustache growth. Is there something I can do to help them grow?
Facial hair growth can be influenced by genetics and hormones. One option to promote beard and mustache growth is to use Minoxidil solution 5%. You can apply it on the areas where you want hair growth twice a day. It may take several months to see results, so patience is key. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
