Description:
Hydrocortisone 1% cream is an anti-inflammatory steroid. Classed as a ‘mild’ steroid, the cream is prescribed for the treatment of skin conditions, including mild to moderate eczema, dermatitis, and insect bite reactions. It is not as strong as the ‘moderately potent’ or ‘potent’ steroid creams and ointments, such as Eumovate, Betnovate, or Diprosone, and can be used to ‘step down’ your treatment if those stronger preparations are no longer necessary.
