Corticosteroid cream is a current anti -inflammatory drug used to treat various disorders of skin disorders. Some versions, usually containing 0.5-2.5% of hydrocortisone of the active substance, are available at the septum for relief from the rash and other small skin irritation. Corticosteroid cream cream can be up to 600 times stronger than hydrocortisone and is usually prescribed for eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, scabies and extreme allergic rashes. Corticosteroid cream is not a treatment for any condition, but helps control symptoms. It can also help in healing temporary conditions as it reduces the desire to scratch the affected area.
The various strengths of the corticosteroid cream are marked for different areas of the body and also for different conditions. In sensitive areas such as eyelids, facial leather, armpits and weaknesses, only the weakest preparations can be used, while the strongest corticosteroid creams can only be used in limited areas, typicals only on dense skin areas such as DLand the feet of the legs or under very serious skin conditions. The skin absorbs an active remedy in corticosteroid cream that is essential for effective relief, but can lead to serious side effects over time if an inappropriate corticosteroid is used. For example, the eyelids absorb 30%, while the palms absorb the hands at only 0.1%. It is important to choose the minimum effective power of corticosteroid cream for your condition and its thin application.

Do not forget to wash your hands when you are done if you apply cream on your hands and do not hold the lid on the container.
As with any medicine, use a corticosteroid cream according to the instructions of a doctor or pharmacists or adherence to PSCREENED INSTRUCTIONS IN A PACKAGE.

When suppressing the adrenal gland, the body ceases to produce its own steroids, so the patient may be dependent on the medicine. Cushing syndrome causes symptoms including diabetes, high blood pressure and muscle weakness. Local side effects are also possible due to abuse of corticosteroid cream. They may include skin atrophy, stretch marks, susceptibility to infection, allergy, easily bruised or injured skin and enlarged blood vessels.
