Hydrocortisone Reviews
Working / Worked
Not working.

10mg tablets taken 3 times per day, two pills in the morning and one in the evening (30mg per day total).
I feel a lot of fatigue which can be a side effect of the medication. I have been on my current medication for 8 12 years but only experienced this effect for the past 2yrs.

the only thing i found that works.

It has worked on me. However, when I use a strong steroid cream, it does make my skin thin. Now I'm using Hydrocortisone cream, however, the skin of my neck is still dry, thin and full of small blisters. I don't know whether these are because of the side effect of the cream. I don't think hydrocortisone help cure eczema completely.
Working / Worked
use rarely when the itching is very bad

Enough to go to sleep at night.

I had "inverted" Psoriasis under my arm for a while and this really helped as Elocon cream really stings under there.

barely keeps under control
Working / Worked
Worked for a while but my dose kept getting higher because my body got used to it
