Description
Hydrocortisone cream is a topical corticosteroid used to reduce skin inflammation, swelling, itching, and redness caused by conditions like eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and rashes. Available both over-the-counter and by prescription, it is applied as a thin layer to the affected skin and works by activating natural skin substances to decrease inflammation. Use it only for the short term, as directed, and consult a healthcare provider for prolonged use or if side effects like skin thinning, allergic reactions, or adrenal issues occur
