I'm really concerned about these dark circles under my eyes. Is it safe to use mometasone cream for them? I heard about something called MMS cream, any idea what brand that is? And, by the way, are there any potential side effects I should worry about?

Avoid using Mometasone cream (brand names: MMS Cream, Elocon, Momate) for dark circles under the eyes, as it can cause side effects like skin thinning, glaucoma, cataract formation, rosacea-like symptoms, and dependence, instead consider alternative eye creams or consult a dermatologist.

I'm an 18-year-old female and I've been dealing with really hot feet for as long as I can remember. It doesn't hurt, they just feel really warm all the time, which makes it hard for me to get comfortable or even wear shoes sometimes, especially when I'm trying to sleep. Do you have any idea why this is happening or any advice on how to cool them down?
