Hydrocortisone Cream– 15g

Hydrocortisone is used to relieve itching, inflamed skin and redness caused by different skin conditions such as mild to moderate eczema, insect bites and stings as well as allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis. A doctor may also prescribe hydrocortisone for nappy rash or psoriasis.

Hydrocortisone works by suppressing the body’s immune response in the skin cells and stop them releasing the chemicals causing the inflammation.

Please read the patient information leaflet fully as there are many conditions where the use of Hydrocortisone cream is not recommended e.g. on children below the age of 10 or on the face.
