FAQs:

What's the difference between Hydrocortisone 1% ointment and 1% hydrocortisone cream?

Ointment is thicker, greasier and tends to be better for skin which is dry or flaky. Whereas creams are in a smooth viscous form, and apply better for wet, weepy skin.

When should I not use 1% hydrocortisone?

This cream should not be used if you are pregnant, have a skin infection, or have had an allergic reaction to hydrocortisone before. Please consult the patient information leaflet to learn more.
