I had flaking dry skin on my eyelids. Daktarin helped the dryness but did not cure it.
The doctor prescribed clotrimazole and hydrocortisone cream twice a day for 7 days.
It was scary stuff and I was very careful to not use too much at a time, it did irritate the eyes if I put on too much.
That said, the reason I'm posting is after eight months of problems, two months with Daktarin, this cream dealt with the issue completely in a week and I am very happy.
On burns
You can use hydrocortisone cream on a cat but they will end up licking it off and that's not good. There is a hydrocortisone spray that is specifically made for animals that is much safer to use.
Gay guys do not use hydrocortisone cream, unless they have a rash. Just like straight guys.
Yes
Hydrocortisone cream is used for the relief of itching due to bug bites or allergic reactions. It is perfectly fine to use it on a cat's outer ear.
I was prescribed this cream to treat eczema
Yes, a person can use Hydrocortisone cream on a new tattoo. The recommended amount is 1% and should only be applied if there is severe itching or redness.
NO ... you will only alleviate the symptom ... the itch. Ringworm is caused by a fungus, so to cure the prime cause, you will have to use an anti-fungal agent
Yes. Can't hurt, but may be less effective.
yes, I have a script for this medication.
Legally, hydrocortisone 0.5% or 1% cream or ointment is available over the counter. Use as directed only.
It is NOT recommended to use hydrocortisone cream around the lips, mouth, or eyes because part of the medicine can be absorbed through the mucous membranes. Hydrocortisone is a steroid, which is a hormone. Used properly, it can have strong negative side effects; used improperly, those negative side effects can be far worse. As well, as a steroid, the medication can have effects on body function and organs. When steroidal medications are used as directed, the negative effects and effects on organs are more controlled than if the med is used improperly. For example, hydrocortisone cream is often prescribed to be applied directly to a limited area of skin, say, hives. But, the med could have serious side effects if lathered over large areas of skin. Hydrocortisone cream can also thin the skin where it is applied, and lead to other skin problems.
