It is generally available as a furoate salt.
No, Mometazone-Sl is not recommended to be used for ringworm. Ringworm is a fungal infection and it is not caused by any worm. It presents as a silver or red colored patch which may be swollen, itchy, scaly or dry. Ringworm can manifest in any part of the body, including groin (jock itch) and scalp (tenia capitis). The rash is usually ring-shaped on places other than face, neck or scalp. At times, the rash starts spreading. It should be treated using antifungal creams containing ingredients like clotrimazole, miconazole, etc.
Mometazone-Sl works by releasing some anti-inflammatory proteins and inhibiting the synthesis of some inflammation mediators. This provides relief to the patient temporarily.

Diaper rash appears as an inflamed skin portion (also known as dermatitis) on the bottoms of a baby. It develops because of wet and infrequently changed diapers, chafing and also because of the skin sensitivity. It can be cured by using good quality diapers, air drying, frequent changing of the diapers and using an ointment containing ingredients like zinc oxide, calendula, etc.
