Hydrocortisone Reviews
Working / Worked
We use this on DD's eczema spots and mixed with a moisturizer to reduce itching as needed. I dislike the discoloration of the skin that occurs with use.

The OTC stuff just never seemed to be strong enough, except on the most mild rashes.

There have not been any side effects to my dosage of this enema.
