Is it alright to keep using mometasone furoate cream on my eyelids and above my lips? I've been on this medication for about a year and it works great, but I came across some articles that say maybe it shouldn't be used on those areas. Should I be worried or stop using it there?
Mometasone furoate cream is a potent topical corticosteroid. While it can be effective, using it on sensitive areas like eyelids and above the lips for an extended period (1 year) may pose risks: *Risks on Eyelids:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Prolonged use can cause skin thinning, making eyelids more prone to injury. 2. *Glaucoma*: Long-term use around the eyes may increase the risk of glaucoma. 3. *Cataracts*: Prolonged use may also increase the risk of cataracts. *Risks Above the Lips:* 1. *Skin thinning*: Similar to eyelids, skin thinning can occur, making the area more sensitive. 2. *Perioral dermatitis*: Long-term use can lead to perioral dermatitis, a skin condition characterized by redness, bumps, and itching.
