Welcome to HCM
This is Dr Amit. Let me help you in this case
Yes Elosone which contains Mometasone can very well cause rash, itching, contact dermatitis, irritation etc if you are sensitive to Mometasone Furoate or to other corticosteroids or to any component of these preparations.
Risk vs. benefit should be considered when the following medical problems exist: allergy to corticosteroids, infection at treatment site.
I will advise you to stop it immediately and consult the doctor regarding the problem
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts
