HI,
Thanks for writing in.
Momate cream contains mometasone which is a potent steroid.Prolong use of such potent steroid over face can cause serious side effects.It can cause reddish or black discoloration or stria /stretch marks on face.It should not be applied for longer duration.
Visit a qualified dermatologist for proper treatment for improving complexion.
Wishing you rapid recovery.
Regards
DrSudarshan
