You can but: it may be more logical to apply a skin moisturizer after washing your face on a regular basis to prevent the itching.

Skin Itch on Face: I do not recommend using a steroid cream on your face. Consider instead applying your favorite moisturizer directly after washing your face to seal in the moisture.

Hand sanitizer dried out hands & skin cut & bled & have tiny itchy bumps that won't go away with creams or hydrocortisone. Fungal? Allergy? Bacterial?

Intense itching under breasts and groin. Scratching can rub a lot of the skin off leaving a red and raw area that burns but still itchy. No pus. I do sweat a lot. Should I try anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, or hydrocortisone cream?
