Eczema Hyperpigmentation on Face
Last time I got Eczema on leg, I was prescribed Momate Lotion (0.1%). I again got Eczema now on face (around nose and mouth) but it has almost healed. Only the hyperpigmentation is remaining. Can I use the same medicine to reduce the pigmentation?

Hi
Your Issue has been noted.
No ...you cannot use the same medicine to reduce the pigmentation.
However, a more detailed history and description will be required together with some clear pics of the problem to make a proper assessment.
Some lab tests also as per the requirement.
There is nothing to worry about.
It should be easily sorted out
For a Prescription and a more detailed management plan, Please contact ONLINE or on an INSTANT Consultation 🙏

The steroid prescribed was to improve the redness itching and oozing from the eczema, not to treat the pigmentation. Please don’t use it. Pictures and a better history are required for prescribing medications right now.
