Fumecon Cream is a potent dermatological preparation containing Mometasone Furoate (0.1%). It belongs to the class of medium-to-high potency topical corticosteroids. It works by inhibiting the release of inflammatory chemicals—such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes—that cause the skin to become red, swollen, and itchy. By stabilizing the cell membranes of white blood cells (leukocytes), Fumecon effectively suppresses the overactive immune response responsible for chronic skin irritation, providing rapid relief from discomfort and promoting the restoration of the skin barrier.
In Nigeria, Fumecon (often used as a high-quality alternative to Elocon) is a premier clinical choice for persistent eczema and psoriasis. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability cream manufactured under strict pharmaceutical standards and stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain the chemical integrity of the 0.1% mometasone concentration.
Important: This is a specialized, prescription-only topical medication. The "Thinning" Warning: Prolonged use on sensitive areas (like the face, armpits, or groin) can cause permanent skin thinning (atrophy) or visible blood vessels (telangiectasia). The "Withdrawal" Rule: Do not stop using the cream abruptly after long-term use; taper your application as directed by our pharmacist to avoid a "rebound" flare-up. Do not use on broken skin, open wounds, or viral skin infections like cold sores or chickenpox.
Fumecon Cream is primarily used to:
Relieve the itching, redness, and swelling of moderate to severe Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Treat localized patches of Psoriasis (thick, scaly, silver-colored skin)
Manage "Contact Dermatitis" caused by allergies to soaps, detergents, or jewelry
Reduce inflammation associated with "Lichen Planus" and other chronic skin rashes
Provide rapid relief for insect bite reactions and severe heat rashes
Act as a non-greasy, fast-absorbing treatment for dry, inflamed skin patches
This product is suitable for:
Adults and children (over 2 years old) with inflammatory skin conditions that have not responded to milder hydrocortisone creams
Individuals requiring a potent once-daily treatment to improve compliance and results
Patients with "thickened" skin patches that require deep steroid penetration
Not recommended for: Infants under 2 years of age. It is strictly contraindicated for the treatment of acne, rosacea, or perioral dermatitis (rash around the mouth), as steroids can make these conditions much worse. Use with extreme caution on large areas of the body to prevent systemic absorption into the bloodstream. Consult our pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; it should only be used on small areas for a short duration.
Use exactly as prescribed; the standard application is usually a thin film applied once daily
The "Thin Layer" Rule: Apply only enough cream to cover the affected area and rub it in gently until it disappears
The "Wash" Tip: Always wash your hands before and immediately after application (unless your hands are the area being treated)
Duration: Most treatments should not exceed 2 to 3 weeks. If your skin does not improve after 2 weeks, consult your dermatologist
Avoid Occlusion: Do not cover the treated area with bandages, plastic wrap, or tight clothing unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as this significantly increases the risk of side effects
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for your next daily application
Fumecon is effective, but some individuals may experience:
A mild burning, stinging, or itching sensation immediately after application
Skin softening or "maceration" (if used in skin folds)
Changes in skin color (lightening or darkening of the treated area)
Increased hair growth in the area of application
Rare but serious: "Adrenal suppression" (if used on very large areas for a long time)
Rare: Blurred vision (if applied too close to the eyes)
Seek medical advice if you develop signs of a skin infection (pus, yellow crusting, or spreading warmth), severe irritation, or if the skin condition seems to spread while using the cream.

Can I use this for my baby's diaper rash?
No. Diaper rashes are often caused by fungi, and Fumecon is a strong steroid. Using it under a diaper (which acts as a bandage) can make the medicine too strong for a baby's thin skin and lead to serious side effects.
Can I use Fumecon on my face?
Only if specifically told to by a doctor, and usually for no more than 5 days. The skin on the face is very thin and prone to permanent damage from strong steroids. Avoid the eyes entirely.
How is this different from regular Hydrocortisone?
Fumecon (Mometasone) is much stronger than Hydrocortisone. This means you only need to apply it once a day, and it works much faster on stubborn, thick, or very itchy rashes.
Where can I purchase Fumecon Cream in Nigeria?
You can fill your dermatology or GP prescription for Fumecon at Sanlive Pharmacy & Stores for guaranteed product integrity and professional pharmaceutical support.
