A member asked:

How can i treat mometasone redness and acne?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discontinue: Mometasone is a powerful glucocortocoid steroid that you should use very, very sparingly if at all on your face. If you tried using it and you also had acne, there will be trouble. Manage your acne with topical benzoyl peroxide, discontinue the mometasone and if you have a personal physician or access to a dermatologist, get seen.
