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 really worried about my dark lips. It started with just the upper lip being darker before my pregnancy, but after giving birth, both my lips have gotten really dark. I've tried all sorts of home remedies and lip balms, but nothing is working. It's stressing me out so much. Can you recommend a cream or lotion that could help with this quickly?

I'm really struggling here. I've been dealing with multiple ringworms for about five months now, and it's been so frustrating. I was taking It mac 200, and it seemed to work at first, but as soon as I stopped, the ringworms came right back, and I've noticed my skin has gotten darker in those areas too. Is there something I can do to get rid of them for good? I'm really just looking for a permanent solution.

Candid cream for local application is advised for 3 weeks, along with tab flucanozole 150 mg once a week for 2 weeks is advised to the patient.
