Question 1

if i apply nystratin with hydrocortizone in hemorroid should shrink or dissapear?

Accepted Answer

Cortisone, yes: Hydrocortisone and similar steroids are indeed helpful in alleviating the inflammation and swelling around a hemorrhoid. Nystatin is an antifungal and unlikely to be helpful. You may want to check to be sure your steroid is of a strength that's safe to use in such a delicate area.

Question 2

can i use hydrocortizone cream for itching and hotness?

Accepted Answer

It depends!: You can't use hydrocortisone if you have a fungal infection. So knowing the cause or diagnosis is important. You state you have soft tissue swelling and cellulitis, and that's normally treated with antibiotics to reduce swelling. Contact  your doctor first, and always do no harm. Hydrocortisone is not going to help this if it's cellulitis. Follow their advice first.

Question 3

is hydrocortizone effective in healing of anal fissure?

Accepted Answer

No: Hydrocortisone should not be used on open wounds or sores as it can delay healing. See your doc to evaluate and treat.  High fiber diet to prevent constipation and further fissures, stool softeners if needed for now.  Also, avoid scented soaps when cleaning area and use unscented detergent when washing clothes that cover that area.  If you have fever, increasing pain, or pus, go to the ER.

Question 4

i have a red dry itchy patch in pubic area, hydrocortizone helps for a while but it always comes back. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Jock-Itch?: This could be fungal.  Try alternating Hydrocortisone with something like Lamisil (terbinafine) at for a week.

Question 5

daughter has spot not sure if its needing med attention. it seems sensitive  to touch hydrocortizone cream hasnt decreased redness.

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: For a persistent lesion that is tender or sensitive to touch, I recommend having it evaluated by a dermatologist.  It can be various things including infection, an inflammatory disorder, or a type of growth.

Question 6

after the first aplicacion of nystratin and hydrocortizone the rash was raised and red, now is still there but more  smooth and pink to white?

Accepted Answer

Continue: It may take days before the area heals.  So be patient.

Question 7

i have a rash that started as a heat rash in august and wont go away. its around my grond area and if i use antifungul or hydrocortizone it returns?

Accepted Answer

Still sounds fungal: Would treat it as a superficial fungal skin infection till gone and doesn't return: cleanse area well every morning, antifungal powder after drying, cotton underwear, if perspire-change during the day; combo antifungal/cortisone cream at night, make sure get the borders of the rash; and your doc or dermatologist should consider giving a short rx with an oral anti fungal medication. diangosis sounds right.

Question 8

raised red bumps and shoulders that won't go away with hydrocortizone crean, what is it and what should i use , thank you?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: Unfortunately, conditions such as these can't be diagnosed on the web. A physician needs to look at it and maybe even biopsy it. I suggest you make an appointment.

Question 9

i have a bump on my butt  ~1.5in away from anus. it hurts to sit. what could it be? will hydrocortizone help? or ice pack?
