Can I Use Momate-s Ointment For Acne?
Hi can I use Momate-S ointment for acne? I am a 40year old female with mild to moderate acne and eczema no other co-morbidity. I have being using Hydrocortisone 1% cream daily from age 27. My dermatologist said I was a Hydrocortisone junkie and took me of it about 15 months now but every ten to fourteen days or so I experience redness intense itchiness and burning all over my face. I use emulsifying ointment to clean my face and during these flair ups I clean more often; it soothes. I have been using Elidel 1% cream for about a year now still having the flair up with a little less intensity and my acne is not not under control. I have commenced Advantan 1% cream for days ago. Please help I have tried predominantly all of the over the counter acne preparations nothing works they just burn up my skin after 2-3 days or so. K. Allen

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face which occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You already took so many medications for the same and it is not affecting your condition. I would suggest you to avoid oily and fried food and make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should not use Microdoxy tablet regularly. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
