Does overuse of mometasone fusidic cream cause white patches? I had suffered from an insect bite a few weeks back and then after applying mometasone cream (hhfudic) for few days it got cured but there are white patches. So what should be done?

Hi, many a times, when a skin lesion heals, it heals with a bit hyperpigmentation (dark areas) or hypopigmentation (light colored areas). Mometasone used for a few days should not cause such a problem. For proper diagnosis and management of these patches, I suggest to consult a dermatologist online or offline. Stay blessed and safe.
