A member asked:
Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) lotion, does it work for big bites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should: Arthropod (bug) bites respond over time to topical steroids. Locoid (hydrocortisone butyrate) is a brand of one such type of topical steroid. Usually twice a day for a week or less is enough. Be sure to see a doc if redness, pain, swelling worsen rather than improve.
