Elocon (Mometasone Furoate) 0.1% Cream

Elocon 0.1% 30g cream is used to reduce the severity of Eczema flare-ups. The active ingredient Mometasone furoate is included in this topical corticosteroid. Apply a thin layer Elocon Cream to the skin and gently rub it in once daily.

Elocon Cream belongs to a class of medications called topical corticosteroids. It is classified as a powerful corticosteroid. These medications are applied to the skin's surface to reduce redness and itching caused by skin conditions. Elocon Cream can be used by both children and adults to reduce the redness and itching caused by skin conditions called psoriasis and dermatitis. Psoriasis refers to a skin condition that causes itchy, scaly and pink patches to develop on the scalp, elbows, knees, and other areas of the body. The skin reacting to external agents, such as detergents, can cause dermatitis. The skin can become itchy and red from detergents.

Both Elocon creams and ointments contain the active ingredient mometasonefuroate 0.1%. This is a type medicine also known as a topical corticosteroid. Mometasone ointment can also be purchased without a brand name. Mometasone, a powerful steroid that reduces inflammation in the skin, is available.

Skin inflammation occurs when there is an allergic reaction to the skin or irritation. This causes blood vessels to widen, which results in reddening, swelling, itching, and pain.

Mometasone works inside the skin cells to block the release of inflammatory substances. This helps reduce swelling, redness, itching, and prevents skin irritations from recurring.

Elocon cream is less greasy than Elocon ointment. This cream is better for dry or scaly skin areas. Creams are best for moist and weepy skin.
