CompositionElmovel Cream is used to manage inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and allergic skin reactions in adults and children. It contains mometasone, a single-ingredient medicine belonging to the medium potency topical corticosteroid class.
This cream helps reduce redness, swelling, itching and irritation in the affected areas. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of skin only, as directed by your doctor, and avoid applying it to healthy skin, the face, or near the eyes unless specifically instructed. Do not use it for longer than the period advised.
Keep the affected skin clean and dry, and avoid covering treated skin with airtight bandages or dressings unless your doctor advises this, as this increases absorption and the risk of side effects. Wear loose, breathable clothing to avoid further irritation.
Before using this cream, tell your doctor if you have any skin infections, as corticosteroids should not be applied to infected skin. Long-term use may cause skin thinning, abnormal hair growth or folliculitis; use only under medical supervision for extended periods. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use.
