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.
Yes the weaker strength corticosteroids prescribed for facial use OK as long as not used long term/regularly, only when really needed, for short infrequent use.
I’ve used it EVERYDAY for about 15 years now… I call it my Movie Star lotion lol but I got a severe sunburn to my face and without it- my face gets so red and dry and will actually bleed about a week or two into with no use… it’s horrible I’ve had to explain my situation a MILLION TIMES plus some… and it’ll confuse people that haven’t seen me that way before bc WITH the lotion my face looks normal.. WITHOUT it - I do NOT go in public.. it’s a literal LIFE changer .. for me
@@spangdeez498sounds like steroid withdrawal. it's likely your symptoms are caused by the steroid dependency and wouldn't exist (at least to that severity) without long term use.
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.
Talk to your derm. There are prescription alternatives such as elidel (pimecrolimus 1%), protopic (tacrolimus 0.1%), eucrisa (crisaborole 2%). I’ve switched & initially it was a challenge as these ointments burned mildly but my facial skin adjusted & I rarely use steroids anymore, maybe one or twice a year. These other alternatives keep it under control along with skin care products for sensitive skin.
@@AudreyLCDHello, I am struggling with the exact same problem. My dermatologist prescribed Elidel, all of the Protopic versions and even Advantan. While Advantan (including a bit of cortisone) helped for a few hours, the rest didn’t. My face is still red after 10 months and it seems to be eczema that came from a chemical burn from skincare. Do you maybe have any other recommendations that I can try? Or did Eucrisa help you more than the other creams? Haven’t used that one yet. Thanks for your help!!🙏
Spoke with a consultant today and they’ve offered me protopic for the body and Elidal for the face. I spent so long battling TSW and have Been steroid free for a couple of years now. Still battling eczema and can’t seem to break the itch scratch cycle . Having gone through TSW I’m worried about the withdrawal of protopic because people have had it. Not sure what to do
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 😞
@@codegirl2069 hello 👋🏼 Well, i was first instructed to use it for two weeks. It slightly improved my skin momentarily, but then when I stopped using it came back. I was then given a stronger steroid gel called Eumovate. I was instructed to use this for a week whenever my skin got really bad. It would improve my skin, but the redness, bumps and soreness would come back with full force after a few days of discontinuing use. I started to slowly realise that my skin was becoming worse with it. I brought this up with a different doctor who after inspecting my skin diagnosed me with rosacea and put me on oral antibiotics.
it's the same for me the doctor say use hydrocortisone 1% for 7 days once a day and in between use moisturiser many times but after returning i got referred to a skin specialist and they recommended eumovate ointment for 7 to 10 days and it gets skin back to smoothe but redness still there and i seem to have millia appear out of nowhere now. it's very trial and error for what works. but recently a friend recommended hyromol ointment for where all other options failed, i'm just trying this out now. it's a nightmare experience as you could be there for months before you find something that works for you.
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?
I agree, with earlier comment - probably best to wait for dermo.. BUT , I will tell you my experience…. I’ve had psoriasis my whole life, LAST time I went to dermo, she laughed me out of her office and said come back when you have more than 15% of your body covered- her patients are more like 85% covered… I got a HORRIBLE sunburn, entire upper body, I could squeeze liquid pus out of my face.. I get home from vacation, take a shower- here’s the exact point I messed up, it was like a new layer of skin on my body… went a few years with 0 treatments.. but my face was so dried out and would crack and bleed until my FAMILY doctor gave me the hydrocortisone 2.5% - it’s my movie star lotion lol- without it people don’t recognize me bc it gets so bad … I have to explain it EVERYWHERE I go, bc people aren’t used to seeing my face like that…. but WITH the lotion- nobody would ever know
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
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.
Can you talk about Clobetosol solution use for eczema on the face? I have had this problem for 4 years and flare ups are worse starting every October and when I have to wear a mask for a couple of hours. Is this really the only thing to use? Other Rx creams have clogged my pores and I have white bumps now on what used to be baby soft skin. I am 53 and hot flashes seems to aggravate it even more. My dermatologist looks at me like I am crazy when I tell him that. I wish you practiced in Virginia. Thanks Dr Dray!
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
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!
How long did you use it on your face ? I’ve used a steroid cream on my cheeks because of redness and irritation caused by a moisturizer and by plucking hairs on my cheeks while they were irritated. Now I’m worried that it has thinned out my skin 😔 my upper cheeks feel extremely tight and uncomfortable. I can’t even smile or laugh without feeling pain and discomfort there. Have you experienced similar side effects from using it on your face ?
@@Dan24. I used the cream for a few months before I stopped and then developed the perioral dermatitis. In general, you should never use steroid creams on the face. Dermatologists don’t prescribe them for the face because of the very high risk of developing P.D. If you have inflammation on the face you should see a dermatologist so they can prescribe you non-steroid creams to help with it. I would advise you to stop using steroid creams and see a dermatologist.
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 😔
If ANYONE has any experience with this - like scar tissue on the face and are using something DIFFERENT that ACTUALLY works… I’ve tried it ALL- hydro 2.5% is the ONLY thing I’ve had success with
Was prescribed this for my body after a severe reaction to fragrance...because I bite my nails it must have gotten all over my mouth. A month or so later I developed the weirdest acne only around my mouth. Took my derm a few tries to get rid of it. Ooops. Moral of the story - don't use it on your face and for the love of God please stop biting your damn nails. (I still totally bite my nails)
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.
Dr Dray, would spironolactone given to a post menopausal woman with eczema, psoriasis, and HS likely or possibly reduce oil production and make eczema harder to control?
I’ve been using it for like a year now because I started eating meat and dairy again last year then my skin started getting their weird red bumps around my eyes and it just kept getting worse so I started using hydrocortisone cream but now my skin only looks good when I put on the cream but if I don’t use it or use a different moisturizer my skin looks terrible and is red and pimply all over my mouth and eyes and idek what to do now besides stop eating dairy. If you have any advice please help 😔
I currently have contact dermatitis (as diagnosed by a dermatologist I consulted) and she said to use a hydrocortisone cream two times a day for a week and then only at night for two more weeks, which of course freaks me the f out now that you mention this and reading other comments. Is taking a betamethasone + antihistamines (desloratadin) better or will it probably have the same effect? I just want this to be gone :(
I am not a doctor but Betamethasone is also a steroid medication!!! Betamethasone valerate is 100-150 times as potent as hydrocortisone! I suggest you watch her video on steroids from 2018.

Me too, lip eczema. I found that using Vaseline before brushing my teeth really helps as toothpaste irritates my lips, esp the mint flavours. I also use Vaseline to moisturize my lips as lip balms (esp those with fragrance or SPF) cause flare ups for me.
Regular cortisone use around the eyes can cause blindness, so I don't recommend continuing to do that unless your doctor says it's ok. (I get eczema around my eyes and just keep it very moisturized instead.)
I have suffered with eyelid eczema and can tell you that using a topical steroid around the eyes isn't recommended, but if you do, you definitely need to have Hollidays. it will thin the eyelids too. I only used a low dose steroid for my eczema until I was done with pregnancy/breastfeeding. Elidel works much better without the eyelid thinning
