Elocon ointment is used to reduce inflammation and itching caused by several different reasons. It is a topical ointment that contains mometasone, a type of corticosteroid that works to reduce swelling, redness, and irritation of the skin. This medication is commonly prescribed to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis caused by exposure to irritants.
Elocon can also be used to relieve symptoms related to skin allergies such as rash and severe itching. It is always recommended to use this medication under the supervision of a specialist doctor. It should be applied in an appropriate amount to the affected area only and avoid applying it to large areas of the skin or for long periods to avoid potential side effects.
