      well the anti inflammatory and itch goes away immediately but also there are longer term effects that change gene expression which results in even more therapeutic benefit, so if you use it maybe once every 3 days topically you will get an even better result than just short term usage.

    hydrocortisone is an amazing topical drug for the extreme eczema on my ear, if i make sure to apply it often, once every 2 or 3 days then it it is completely gone, although sometimes i forgot to apply it for about a week and start to realize my ear eczema comes back and it makes it hard to sleep with the itchiness pain and inflammation.

(A tip for eczema in the face is don’t shower with hot water ur eczema will hate u it’s like it has a attitude and be careful with the type of fabric that touches your face ex: The type of fabrics that teddy bears are made of, sadly it will trigger your eczema)

      when i saw skin specialist he said to use eumovate ointment clear greasy cream around eye area for 7 to 10 day's twice a day. it's like the greasyness helps to keep skin soft, itchy free and also moisturise whilst having that protective barrier. it seems to work as right now eye skin feels smoothe, soft and not itchy, tight, red, flakey so it's like it healed over time with the cream.

    Hi Doctor, I hade a burn on my face I think from retinol and my dermatologist told my to apply Hydrocortisone ointment 2.5 twice a day on my face she didn’t mention how much and I started last night I applied quite thick layer and slept with it. The redness got much better but now I read that it can make the skin thin and I’m so nervous I applied again in the morning but got very nervous and washed it off... is it really bad for the face?

    Oddly I'm using the cream on my covid rash which is the itchy blistery type. It's helping a bit.

      This is how misinformation is spread, there’s no such thing as a Covid rash.
