Avoid harsh soaps. Limit washing your face to twice a day and use an oil based moisturiser.

I'm wondering when exactly I should be using Momate F for vitiligo, and how long it should be left on before washing it off. Could you give me some guidance on the right timing and duration?

Momate F cream is a topical corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including vitiligo. Application and Duration: 1. Apply a thin layer of Momate F cream to the affected area (vitiligo patches) once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor.1. After applying Momate F cream, wait for at least 2-3 hours before washing your face. 2. When washing your face, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, harsh soaps, or exfoliating scrubs, as they can strip the skin of its natural oils and reduce the effectiveness of the cream.

I'm wondering about this serum that was recommended to my sister for her hair fall and greying. It was pretty expensive and she ended up not using all of it. I'm 20 and only have some beard growth on my neck. Could I use this serum on the sides of my face to help grow a beard? If so, how much should I be using, and how often?

I've been dealing with these super itchy red bumps on my thighs and also have some really dry, black skin on my hip area. I've already tried using Candid B and some derm powders, but nothing seems to work. Any idea what's going on or what I should try next?

If it is eczema it needs appropriate moisturizer,use intimate moisturizer for better results,and visit Dermatologist for appropriate treatment.
