Elocon Cream and Ointment contain mometasone furoate 0.1%, a potent corticosteroid used to treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. They work by reducing inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching, helping to relieve discomfort and improve the skin’s appearance.

The cream is generally suited for moist or weeping areas of skin, while the ointment is better for dry, scaly patches. Elocon should be applied thinly to the affected area once daily, as prescribed, and is intended for short-term use to control flare-ups. Prolonged or excessive use should be avoided to reduce the risk of side effects.
