No hydrocortisone: It is generally best to not apply steroids, like Hydrocortisone to the face. What you should do depends on the rash and whether she is bothered by it. There are many possible causes for rashes, some requiring treatment and some which go away on their own. It would be best to have a doctor look at it.
