Hello,
Welcome to health care magic
Momate ointment is a mid potent steroid and is not used for this indication. Please refrain from using this as it may cause acne, thinning of skin, photosensitivity and rosacea on long term use.
Use a sunscreen daily, preferably a gel form. Please consult a dermatologist to assess the skin and diagnose the condition you have which causes redness and follow his advice.
Hope this helped
Take care
