Anyone use Mometasone cream for radiation side effect?

I have been using Miaderm while waiting for prescription of mometasone cream which I finally received today. I completed my 4th of 16 sessions.
I am curious if others have used Miaderm and how it worked for them. Their literature seems very promising for minimal side effects.
My radiologist recommends the mometasone and Aquaphor but also gave a list of other products which included the Miaderm.

I used momentasone (nurse calls it MOM) from day 1 of radiation. I used it at least 2 hours before radiation (it was more like 7 hours and at bedtime. I already used Vanicream (because of formaldehyde and other chemical allergies), so I used both products twice daily. I had almost NO skin issues, to my surprise. No rash at all. Minimal discoloration. I am 5 weeks past my final radiation treatment and have had no skin issues. I always get a rash for no reason so by being proactive and using the momentasone and Vanicream early I feel like it worked wonderfully. I had even purchased the chaffing cream recommended by the nurse (which I did not even need)! I had 15 sessions of radiation in total. Good luck!
