Anyone have experience with Mometasone 0.1% Topical Solution/Lotion for eczema or psoriasis? Pros? Cons?
I've been prescribed Mometasone 0.1% Topical Solution/Lotion for my eczema, and I'm a bit nervous about the side effects. Has anyone else used this? How effective was it? Did you experience any of the more serious side effects? I've heard it can be really helpful, but I'm also worried about the potential risks. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

It worked well for my eczema, but I did notice some thinning of the skin. Make sure to use it sparingly and only as directed, and it might be worth checking in with your doctor regularly to keep an eye on it.
I've had great results with it, and it's way better than the steroid cream I was using before. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for the relief. Just be careful with the application site, my skin got pretty irritated at the start, but it calmed down after a few days.
I've had no issues with it. Not the best smell, but it works! Better than trying to deal with ointments.
Anyone know if this stuff is safe to use on kids? My toddler has really bad eczema and I can't deal with the constant itching.
I've been using it for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer for my psoriasis. No serious side effects so far, just a bit of stinging at first, but it goes away quickly.
I had a really bad reaction to this stuff. Started getting hives and my throat felt tight. Scary stuff. I'd be careful if I were you.
It worked for a while, but then my skin just stopped responding to it. It's frustrating because I really needed something to help with the itching. Now I'm having to try something new...
