I had an allergic reaction and it broke out my face. Used hydrocortisone once a day for 3 days & it went away completely and actually made my skin smoother than ever. Was tempted to use it everyday but I glad I came across this video before I started doing that.

I used hydrocortisone cream on my forehead several times and successfully prevented excess skin buildup and flakiness. Without talking to a doctor first.
I'm such a rebel.

We have exactly 1 dermatologist per 200 sqaure miles where I live. They limit the residency slots for that specialty for no reason.

Would love to learn more about alternatives to using steroids on the face if there is eczema on the face.

Hydrocortisone given to me as a first treatment for my then ‘mystery skin condition’. Turns out it was rosacea as I had suspected, but my doctor said it wasn’t 🤦🏽‍♀️
I’m pretty sure it worsened my condition and caused some atrophy 😞

My mother was overly reliant on hydrocortisone when I was a child and it really did more harm than good. I find Benadryl cream to be more helpful and even moreso oral Benadryl at night for the occasional dermatitis flare ups

I wish I was this a few years ago, I had eczema on my face and used Emouvate (steroid cream) it says on the box DO NOT USE ON FACE. But it eliminated my eczema On my face over night. After stop using it the flare ups would come back worse and now I have horrible side affects but eczema free

Can you do a longer video on this topic. Since I discovered you I’ve been having doubts about my facial psoriasis. I have had mild plaque and guttate psoriasis on off on my body throughout my life as well, including now -thanks strep throat ) On the off chance it’s SD or Ezcema, would topical cortisones make whatever is taking over my face worse?

See this is why I changed two doctors. The first one legit prescribed me cortisone with an heavily fragranced cream for my extremely inflamed, breaking out skin. The other didn't even recommend any moisturizer along with 0.04% Tret on already dehydrated skin.

I use it to treat my psoriasis on my face once a week and was the best thing I found 🤷‍♂️

See I got a sunburn when I was 17 years old on vacation (THANKS California 😏) and it was SO BADDDD - I could squeeze pus out of my face and ANYWHERE ELSE on my body…. And I THINK where I messed up was when I finally got home I hopped in the shower and my whole entire body felt like I had a new layer of skin… including my face, which now will turn a NASTY color red and crack and peel and bleed and hurts to move my face… BUT I call it my MOVIE STAR LOTION- Hydrocortisone lotion 2.5% - is the ONLY thing that works for my face, I’m 36 now, 37 next week, and I’ve been using it for about 15 years now… they did express some concerns but later in life, Unfortunately I’m getting to later in life 😔

I was prescribed steroid cream for a rash on my arm but I started using it on my face because it helped my acne spots. Big mistake!! Ended up getting perioral dermatitis when I stopped using it. Took several months of treatment to get the dermatitis to go away (it’s notoriously difficult to treat). Don’t make this mistake!

I cant use it. It burns my skin. Yet my a gp keeps prescribing it for my seborrheic dermatitis. It states on the box...do not use on face.

I have a chemical burn on my face in certain areas and it’s so itchy and bumpy. I’ve been using Vaseline to heal it but the itch doesn’t go away. I thought about using the 2% hydrocortisone my dermatologist gave me a year ago….should I? She prescribed me this hydrocortisone because last year my face broke out in hives and was extremely itchy for one whole week and it helped.

Didn’t know the particulars of this cream till this channel now I know! Thanks! 👍🏻

[godzlegendz]

My dermatologist suggested I take it, hasn’t solved my problem feels bad

I have sjogrens which my skin is dry I use tretinion which is worse but my Derm said to put hydrocortisone on the face after Tret at night till my skin can adjust better

[janesken]

Hi dr dray. Should you avoid hydrocortisone right after chemical peels?

[Missjlb]

Can you get rid of it if you stop the steriod cream

[geovannabarron]

If we are using a prescribed steroid for 2 weeks, can we use sunscreen?
