Drug Details
Hydrocortisone is a mild corticosteroid used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, dermatitis, insect bites, poison ivy or oak, skin allergies, and psoriasis. It helps reduce inflammation, swelling, itching, and redness. Available in different forms such as cream, ointment, lotion, and solution, hydrocortisone can be found over-the-counter in lower strengths (like 1%) or prescribed in higher strengths (like 2.5%). Most users experience minimal side effects when using this medication as directed. However, discontinuing use might rarely lead to worsening skin conditions, known as topical steroid withdrawal. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice before using hydrocortisone.
