Hydrocortisone Cream is used to reduce inflammation in a variety of inflammatory skin conditions, such as:
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is a chronic and sometimes remitting condition that primarily affects the skins surface layers. People who suffer from this type of skin inflammation will often experience symptoms such as an itchy red rash which can be found in many places on their bodies including behind knees or elbows where there are large amounts humidity for extended periods each day
Contact dermatitis is a type of eczema that arises when someone comes into contact with something they’re allergic to. It usually clears up on its own or can be treated by avoiding the trigger substance and applying creams as needed for relief from symptoms like dry skin irritation, scaling/burning sensations.
When you have a flare-up of eczema or dermatitis, your skin may become itchy and inflamed. This could cause the symptoms that include:
It is important to keep your skin moisturized in order for it not have an adverse reaction. Skin specialists often advise people with eczema or dermatitis use emollient (moisturizing) products like cream and bath oils, which can help prevent flare-ups. It’s also wise that you avoid soap as these could irritate the condition more than anything else does already!
