Hydrocortisone cream treats skin conditions like insect bitespoison oak/ivy, eczemadermatitisallergiesrashitching of the outer female genitals, and anal itching and reduces the patient’s swelling, itching, and redness within a short time. In addition, it is used in cases of psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. Studies regarding hydrocortisone cream have even found it useful for atopic dermatitis, a chronic, pruritic inflammatory skin condition that typically affects the face, cheeks, neck, arms, and legs. The use of the medication was shown to have good efficacy in the treatment of various oozing and lichenified eczematous skin diseases, including multiple dermatitis conditions and in the treatment of psoriasis Vulgaris. Even in very young children, it has proved successful as an effective and safe drug.
Hydrocortisone can help treat inflammatory skin conditions that cause redness, swelling, and itching. But it is not a conventional acne treatment and does not affect acne-causing bacteria, so it cannot prevent breakouts, and thus it cannot be used for the face. It can even worsen some skin problems like impetigo, rosacea and acne and should be used with extreme precaution in facial conditions. Hydrocortisone and other steroids can irritate facial skin. They can potentially lead to irreversible skin damage, because of which hydrocortisone cream should not be used on the face except when advised and guided by dermatologists and healthcare providers. Even low-potency Hydrocortisone can cause thinning of the skin of eyelids and folds of the skin if used injudiciously.
Hydrocortisone cream takes a few days to a few weeks to work on skin rashes. It should be regularly used until the inflammation and itchiness have resolved completely. A full treatment plan for the medication can be completed in four weeks. Applying Hydrocortisone 1% to the wound flattens the lower layer of the skin, enabling the top layer of skin to grow and the wound to heal. Hydrocortisone injections are often used to treat orthopaedic conditions such as arthritis and tendonitis to reduce swelling and inflammation and decrease pain. It takes the medication five to six days to reduce inflammatory conditions in orthopaedic conditions. The effects can last more than two months and provide the patient with symptomatic relief.
Hydrocortisone is an adrenocortical steroid that inhibits the accumulation of inflammatory cells at inflammation sites, phagocytosis, promotes lysosomal enzyme release and synthesis, and releases mediators of inflammation to work on inflammatory reactions. It works by calming down the body’s immune response to reduce pain, itching and swelling (inflammation) and can be used as hormone replacement for people who do not have enough of the natural stress hormone cortisol, resulting in hyperpigmentation of the skin and the mucus membrane. Conditions of swelling, itching and irritation are resolved using Hydrocortisone in addition to symptoms of eczema and psoriasis.
