Hydrocortisone 2.5% Cream Help: Eczema Relief or Side Effect Nightmare?
I've been prescribed Hydrocortisone 2.5% Cream for my eczema, and I'm curious to hear from others who have used it. Does it work well for you? What are the typical side effects you experienced? I'm a bit worried about the risk of infection or allergic reactions. Has anyone experienced these? I’d love to know what else to watch out for beyond what’s listed in the leaflet. I’ve been reading about thinning of the skin and stretch marks – does anyone have tips for mitigating these risks? Also wondering if anyone has experience with applying it to sensitive areas like the face.

This thread is making me reconsider my skincare routine. What other creams are safe for people with sensitive skin like mine?
I've been using it on my elbows and knees. I’ve noticed they’ve gotten a bit thinner. It’s pretty noticeable. I’m going to talk to my doctor about it.
I've noticed some dryness and tingling after using it. It's not too bad, but I wonder if there are any home remedies to help with that? I don’t want to stop using it because it’s the only thing that helps my eczema flare-ups.
I apply it on my face. I’ve had a really bad side effect, redness and swelling. I had to stop using it but it worked well.
