Sunburnt on my face will hydocortazone cream help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Be cautious in using any steroid cream on facial skin.The mild .5% (cortisone 5) is as high in strength as i would go and then limit use to a very thin layer 2x daily.This may help calm down the irritation, but can also result in some thinning of the skin and a bleaching of your natural pigment if overused.Consult your doc if needed to personalize your treatment.
