I've been using Momate F cream USP on my face for some time and the results have been pretty great. I'm just a bit worried and curious if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Also, if I stop using it, is there a chance the spots will come back?

Momate F cream, containing mometasone and fusidic acid, can have side effects like skin thinning, redness, itching, and increased risk of infections, and if stopped, the underlying skin condition may recur, but the spots themselves may not necessarily "grow back" worse than before, however, it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice on usage and discontinuation.

I'm having trouble sitting for the past couple of days because there's a bump on my buttocks. I'm not sure how it got there, but it's really uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

The bump on your buttocks could be a pilonidal cyst, abscess, or boil, and to alleviate the discomfort, apply warm compresses, maintain good hygiene, and consider consulting a general surgeon for a proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or drainage.
