Start by cleaning and drying the affected area properly before applying the cream. Take a small amount and apply it directly to the affected skin, then spread a thin layer gently without rubbing too hard. This can be used two to four times daily depending on the condition. Always wash your hands after application. Apply the cream only on the affected area rather than the entire skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other sensitive areas. Do not use it on open wounds or infected skin. It is best to use this treatment for a short duration and avoid excessive or prolonged application. Usage Routine: Week 1 to 2, apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily on clean, dry skin. Week 3 onward, continue only if necessary and based on skin response or professional advice. Apply only to the affected areas. Avoid excessive use or application over large skin surfaces. Do not use for extended periods without medical guidance.
How it works
Hydrocortisone is a mild topical corticosteroid that works by suppressing the immune response in the skin. It reduces the release of inflammatory substances such as histamines and prostaglandins, leading to decreased redness, swelling, and itching. This mechanism provides rapid relief from irritation and helps soothe allergic and inflammatory skin conditions.
