• Reduces inflammation: Helps calm inflammatory reactions that cause skin discomfort.

• Helps ease redness and irritation: May improve symptoms associated with mild dermatitis and selected skin rashes.

Common Uses

Hydrocortisone 1% cream may be recommended for:

• Mild eczema and selected forms of dermatitis.

• Contact dermatitis caused by irritants or allergens.

• Certain itchy, inflamed skin rashes.

• Localised skin irritation that is suitable for treatment with a mild topical corticosteroid.

Not all rashes are suitable for hydrocortisone treatment. Fungal, bacterial, and viral skin infections may require different treatment, and corticosteroids can mask or worsen some infections.
