Hydrocortisone Cream (Hycorum) 15GM is a topical corticosteroid preparation intended to help relieve inflammation, redness, itching, and irritation associated with certain skin conditions. Hydrocortisone works by reducing the skin's inflammatory response, helping to ease discomfort and improve symptoms associated with conditions that respond to mild topical corticosteroids.

This cream may be used for selected inflammatory skin conditions, such as mild eczema, contact dermatitis, and certain types of itchy skin rashes, when appropriate for the specific condition and as directed by a healthcare professional. Its topical formulation allows application directly to the affected area of skin.

The product is supplied in a 15GM tube, providing a convenient format for targeted application. The exact hydrocortisone concentration and other ingredients should be confirmed from the product packaging, as these details have not been provided.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Helps reduce inflammation: Hydrocortisone can help calm inflammatory reactions in the skin.
  • Relieves itching: May reduce itching associated with corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions.
  • Helps ease redness and irritation: Can improve symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discomfort caused by certain inflammatory skin problems.
  • Targeted topical application: Allows the cream to be applied directly to the affected skin area.
  • Convenient packaging: The 15GM tube is suitable for carrying and storing according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Common Uses

When indicated and appropriate for the specific formulation, hydrocortisone cream may be used to manage symptoms associated with:

  • Mild eczema and certain dermatitis conditions.
  • Contact dermatitis caused by exposure to an irritating or allergenic substance.
  • Inflammatory skin rashes that respond to topical corticosteroids.
  • Localised itching, redness, and irritation associated with suitable skin conditions.

Not every rash or itchy skin condition should be treated with hydrocortisone. Fungal, bacterial, and viral skin infections may require different treatment, and corticosteroids can sometimes worsen or mask these infections.

Directions for Use

Apply the cream to the affected skin only as directed on the product label or by a qualified healthcare professional. Use the recommended amount and treatment duration. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are the treatment area.

Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth. Do not apply to broken skin, large areas of the body, or sensitive areas such as the face, groin, or underarms unless advised by a healthcare professional. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings unless specifically instructed.

  • Excessive or prolonged use may cause skin thinning and other local adverse effects.
