I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I've recently gotten over jaundice, but now I'm dealing with some pretty bad hair loss, especially around the front. Is it normal to lose hair like this after having jaundice, and is there a chance my hair might grow back? What steps can I take to prevent or manage this hair fall?
To help with hair regrowth and prevent further hair fall, you can consider taking biotin supplements to support hair growth. Additionally, using minoxidil solution on the affected areas can also help promote hair regrowth. It is important to maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and to avoid excessive heat styling or chemical treatments on your hair. You may also consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment options.
